Editing AI Governance DAO (section)

=== Phase 1 ===
In more detail, during Phase 1 the aiGovDAO is an [[Science DAO Framework|academic society]], which develops its governance protocols, as well as developing the field of AI research in general. [[Forum reference mechanisms|Citations]] between researchers and administrators for approved [[Forum|published]] articles, proposals, and projects will provide the basis of future power (i.e., [[reputation]]) in the DAO.

During Phase 1, the aiGovDAO develops free tools as a collection of approved Projects. A ''Project'' is a collection of [[Forum reference mechanisms#Governance proposals|Proposals]] for how to develop AI tools (including how to limit their development). A Proposal can be added to the Forum by anyone. For instance, a Project may be an individual's recommended tool, or it may be a crowdsourced dev project (similar to the [[wikipedia:Polymath_Project|Polymath Project]]) consisting of multiple Proposals linked by citing each other, or it may be a statement intended to clarify the values of the group.

Before the Projects and Proposals lead to citations from profitable uses in Phase 2, a generalized PageRank algorithm weights the value of such Proposals by their WDAG context in the [[Forum]]. This citation system allows the DAO to select some proposals to promote for member attention over others. The weights of value are specified by chat reputation tokens, called cREP.
