On January 6, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin published a long article “d/acc: one year later” to review the development of the d/acc (decentralized acceleration) concept proposed last year. The article focuses on three key issues: AI security supervision, the role of cryptocurrency in d/acc, and public product financing.
Vitalik proposed two major strategies for AI security: one is to establish a responsibility system and set reasonable legal responsibilities for AI users, deployers, and developers; the second is to set up a global “soft pause” mechanism at the industrial hardware level, which can reduce 90-99% of global computing power when necessary. Vitalik said that d/acc has three major connections with cryptocurrency: value extension, early adopter community, and technical complementarity. In particular, the crypto community has made contributions in the fields of prediction markets and zero-knowledge proofs. The article also mentioned innovative mechanisms including quadratic financing, retroactive public product financing, and deep financing, emphasizing the importance of decentralized financing in promoting the development of open source projects. Vitalik believes that despite the current challenges of rapid technological development and reduced global cooperation, new tools such as AI and biotechnology provide humans with the ability to cope with these challenges.
