AI could take almost all the jobs, not just trucking and retail but even creative jobs. Can we address this in a way that actually puts humanity on a path to abundance? The Nature 2.0 approach might just do this, by leveraging the surplus of self-owning AI DAOs into Universal Basic Income (UBI), then, not stopping, into Universal Self-Actualization Income (USI).

Nature 2.0:
The Cradle of Civilization
Gets an Upgrade

2. Trucking
3.5M jobs

3. Retail
4.6M jobs

4. Creative jobs?

5. In an age of AI,
How to feed our families?
Achieve abundance?

6. Nature 1.0

8. Nutrients

9. Rain

10. Sun

11. Symbiosis with
animals

12. No ownership
No identity
No money
No scarcity

13. No ownership
No identity
No money
No scarcity
It just is.
Self-sustaining
Anti-fragile

14. Ever-higher levels
of integration.
From beasts →
ecosystems
Each ecosystem
just is.
Self-sustaining
Anti-fragile

15. Mother Earth =
our planet’s
ecosystem.
Nature is the
cradle of
civilization.

16. Ways to frame AI

17. “Replicates human cognitive
behavior” [Turing test]

18. “Can do tasks that only a
human could previously do”

19. “Can do a task at speed /
accuracy / capacity not
possible by a human.”

20. “A set of tools”
• Classification
• Regression
• Knowledge extraction
• Optimization
• Creative / Structural design
• …

21. “Embodied agents” (AGI)

22. Ways to frame blockchain

24. “A Chain of Blocks (of transactions)”

25. “Decentralized database”

26. “Trust machine” :
minimizes trust needed
to operate.

27. A computational process that
• runs autonomously,
• on decentralized infrastructure,
• with resource manipulation.
“DAO: Decentralized Autonomous Organization”
It’s code that can own stuff!
A “good computer virus”

28. AI * Blockchain:
AI DAOs

29. The ArtDAO
1. An AI is running on a blockchain.
2. The AI generates a new image.
3. Sell image on a marketplace
4. Repeat!

30. AI DAO Architectures:
AI at center, AI at edges, swarm/emergent

31. Rights for AI (DAOs)
With Today’s Laws (!)

32. Nature 2.0
=AI DAOs🚀🚀

33. Self-driving,
self-owning cars

34. Self-driving,
self-owning trucks

35. Self-owning
roads

36. Self-owning
wind farms

37. Self-owning
grid

38. Self-owning forest “Terra0”

39. Ever-higher levels of integration
From beasts → ecosystems
Connected via IoT / M2M

40. No ownership
No identity
No money
No scarcity
It just is.
Self-sustaining
Anti-fragile

41. No ownership
No identity
No money
No scarcity
It just is.
Self-sustaining

43. This is
Nature 2.0.
An upgrade to the
cradle of civilization.
Bio + machines
in symbiosis,
simply providing.
Towards abundance.

44. Conclusion

45. In the internet,
no one knows
you’re a dog(e)

46. In Nature 2.0,
no one knows
you’re a forest

47. In Nature 2.0,
no one knows
you’re a grid

48. You just are.
While you simply provide.

49. Nature is the cradle of civilization.
Nature 1.0 is seeds & soil.
Nature 2.0 adds silicon & steel. AI * blockchain.
Towards abundance.
