WEF's latest session dropped something wild—they're pitching a centralized AI governance framework that basically sidelines human decision-making in major sectors. Yeah, you heard that right. The proposal outlines giving AI systems autonomous authority over resource allocation, policy recommendations, even economic planning. Humans? We'd be relegated to "advisory roles" at best. The irony isn't lost on anyone paying attention: an unelected global forum discussing how to make democratic input... optional. What gets me is the timing. Right when crypto and Web3 communities are pushing hardest for decentralized governance models—DAOs, on-chain voting, permissionless systems—we're watching traditional power structures float the exact opposite vision. Centralized AI control by committee. No blockchain transparency, no community consensus, just algorithms managed by whoever controls the off switch. Think about it. DeFi proved we can run complex financial systems without intermediaries. DAOs showed governance can be distributed. Yet here's the establishment blueprint: concentrate AI power at the top, call it "coordination for humanity's benefit." The kicker? They frame it as inevitable. As if there's no alternative to technocratic AI control. But we've already built alternatives. Every smart contract running trustlessly, every DAO treasury managed by token holders instead of executives—that's proof positive there's another path. Maybe I'm just allergic to the phrase "you'll own nothing and be happy," but watching institutions try to position AI as requiring centralized oversight feels like déjà vu. Same playbook, different technology. The real question: do we let legacy institutions define the AI governance paradigm, or do we build decentralized alternatives before their vision becomes default?
