As businesses are becoming increasingly mechanised this has brought about the possibility of using bots on the internet controlling robots in the physical world to make fully [[Autonomous Organisations]]. Take for example a traditional coffee shop, by replacing the baristas with automated vending machines (See '''Figure 1.''') the [[corporation]] that owns the coffee shop can eliminate the most costly and inefficient part of any business, it workers. These hybrid bot / robot system already exist and are called [[Decentralized Semi Autonomous Organization]]<nowiki/>s (or DAOs for short). | As businesses are becoming increasingly mechanised this has brought about the possibility of using bots on the internet controlling robots in the physical world to make fully [[Autonomous Organisations]].

=== The Paperclip Maximizer === | |||
A DAO running a coffee shop is pretty harmless. However, it sets precedent in that an autonomous corporation without read only human-centred, [[Tenet|tenets]] in its incorporation statement is a machine primarily built for profit and uncontrolled might play out the [[Paperclip Maximizer]] scenario envisaged by Nick Bostrom. | |||
