The Autonomous Altruist: Agentic Web3 and the Future of Public Good
05-28, 14:00–14:25 (CET), Root

This talk will delve into the transformative potential of "Autonomous Altruists" – intelligent agents to tackle the pervasive issues of information asymmetry and the need for robust community-driven solutions.
I will show how to facilitate decentralised community initiatives, enabling autonomous coordination of resources and collective decision-making through DAOs.


In a post truth world tools to counter disinformation are vital, as are ways to use AI to facilitate decision making.
