Computer-Aided Governance

= “CAG is a decision-support process that leverages blockchain technology and cadCAD to simulate the potential results of governance policies, leading to better informed decision making”. [1]

Discussion

Jeff Emmett, Commons Stack:

“The Commons Stack proposes to improve our current governance systems by creating tools to model and test policy outcomes, so that participants have better information and make the best possible decisions. Just like CAD revolutionized pre-digital drafting processes (and in the process gave us safer cars, roads, buildings and widgets), cadCAD + CAG have the potential to fundamentally optimize governance processes. CAG doesn’t undermine human agency; it just gives governance actors a clearer picture of what it is they are doing — and planning to do.” (https://medium.com/block-science/computer-aided-governance-cag-a-revolution-in-automated-decision-support-systems-9faa009e57a2)
