What happens when AI learns to organise itself?
Last Friday, I spoke at the Autonomous Organisation (AO) Summit in London, co-hosted by @AO_Commons and @ARIA_research’s Scaling Trust programme.
At @GenReasoning, we built Avalon, where AI agents learn to organise and collaborate autonomously. I believe collective intelligence is the next frontier of AI.
But greater autonomy raises a bigger question: How do humans stay in control? And more fundamentally, who decides what's worth pursuing?
To me, AI isn’t just a technical challenge, but a question of human identity.
Thanks to @ObadiaAlex, @anke_g_liu, @samccarthy27 and the team for bringing together thoughtful minds.
More London AO Summit speakers!
+ @ChengxiTaylor of @GenReasoning on the first autonomous company model
+ @yalidux on safe cooperative AI
+ @brulepri on systemic risk in AI collectives

Most of the time, governance is invisible. You only notice it when something goes wrong.
@samccarthy27 took us inside the nine-week redesign at @gooddollarorg. A fascinating look at the craft of designing for participation.
My latest for @hackernoon.
