• Abstract: Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) are a new, rapidly-growing class of organizations governed by smart contracts. Here we describe how researchers can contribute to the emerging science of DAOs and other digitally-constituted organizations. From granular privacy primitives to mechanism designs to model laws, we identify high-impact problems in the DAO ecosystem where existing gaps might be tackled through a new data set or by applying tools and ideas from existing research fields such as political science, computer science, economics, law, and organizational science. Our recommendations encompass exciting research questions as well as promising business opportunities. We call on the wider research community to join the global effort to invent the next generation of organizations.

• DAOs of Collective Intelligence? Unraveling the Complexity of Blockchain Governance in Decentralized Autonomous Organizations [0.7499722271664144]
  Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) have transformed organizational structures by shifting from traditional control to decentralized control. Despite managing significant funds and building global networks, DAOs face challenges like declining participation, increasing centralization, and inabilities to adapt to changing environments. This paper explores complex systems and applies complexity science to explain their inefficiencies.

  I examine the potential of GenAI-assisted research to mitigate current limitations in democratic experimentation. I argue that the benefits of synthetic data are likely to outweigh their drawbacks if implemented with proper caution. The paper concludes with a call for interdisciplinary collaboration in the development and implementation of GenAI-assisted methods in democracy research.

  We focus on the impact of open models on organizations, which use AI to observe and analyze large volumes of circulating misinformation. We conducted an interview study with N=24 professionals at 20 fact-checking organizations on six continents. We find that fact-checking organizations prefer open models for Organizational Autonomy, Data Privacy and Ownership, Application Specificity, and Capability Transparency.

  Recent advances in machine learning and AI are disrupting technological innovation, product development, and society as a whole. AI has contributed less to fundamental science in part because large data sets of high-quality data for scientific practice and model discovery are more difficult to access. Here we explore and investigate aspects of an AI-driven, automated, closed-loop approach to scientific discovery.
