The Potential Contribution of DAOs to the Digital Transformation of Society: Ethical and Socioeconomic Perspectives on DAO-AI Synergy

This article explores the potential of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) to contribute to the digital transformation of society through the lens of ethics, social structure, and emerging economic paradigms. The focus is on the synergy between DAO structures and artificial intelligence (AI), and the ways in which such convergence may support new redistributive mechanisms such as Universal Basic Income (UBI) and Inclusive Capitalism. By combining conceptual analysis, relevant case studies, and data derived from existing research, the article evaluates whether DAO-AI systems can provide scalable, ethical, and decentralized alternatives to traditional organizational and economic models.

Abstract

This article explores the potential of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) to contribute to the digital transformation of society through the lens of ethics, social structure, and emerging economic paradigms. The focus is on the synergy between DAO structures and artificial intelligence (AI), and the ways in which such convergence may support new redistributive mechanisms such as Universal Basic Income (UBI) and Inclusive Capitalism. By combining conceptual analysis, relevant case studies, and data derived from existing research, the article evaluates whether DAO-AI systems can provide scalable, ethical, and decentralized alternatives to traditional organizational and economic models.
