abstract

The emergence of artificial general intelligence and the global brain provides new opportunities for realizing humanity's long quest for a more utopian existence. One possibility is a more successful implementation of the state socialist vision of a centrally managed economy, possibly controlled by an AGI “Nanny” instead of a central committee of politicians. An alternative outcome, more in keeping with the original Marxist vision of the withering away of the state, may be the mutualist vision of organizing economic and social life along voluntary lines. A number of recent developments and new ideas may facilitate this outcome. The institution of the commons, in the past available only to small geographical communities, can now be used by global communities. Open collaboration and exchange networks facilitate voluntary cooperative activity by people at dispersed physical locations. Open Production Networks can make the most complicated economic exchanges transparent to consumers, allowing them to factor ethical and sociological considerations into their purchasing decisions. Offer Networks can help people with similar interests and complementary abilities to organize joint projects and organizations. Blockchain technologies could be used to create transparent currencies in which transactions can be done openly. These and other related technologies have the potential to humanize global economic interactions, giving them more emotional resonance, as increasing affluence lessens individual and societal preoccupation with maximizing economic gain.

13. Conclusions

Currently emerging technologies have the potential to facilitate both utopian and dystopian outcomes. The kind of totalitarian state envisioned by Orwell in 1984 could be even more oppressive with modern computer networking than it was with the television cameras he envisioned (Pavlovski, 2014). But mutualist and communitarian alternatives could also work better with the kinds of technological innovations we have described. To a great extent, new technologies make it possible to transcend the dilemma between the need for the efficiencies of scale and the desire for human-level interaction. The particulars via which this potential will be realized, are difficult to foresee — and to some extent, are ours to shape as we unfold the future together.
