Explore the intersection of complex systems and tokenized ecosystems in this comprehensive lecture from the Santa Fe Institute. Delve into AI DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations) and the concept of blockchains as life forms. Discover how blockchains democratize access to AI data and algorithms, and learn about applying evolutionary algorithm best practices to token design. Examine the potential of repurposing agent-based systems for simulation in token design loops. Gain insights into how complex systems theory and tools can benefit the blockchain world, while understanding how blockchain technology presents relevant applied problems for complex systems research.
