AI for Commoning: Speculating on the Kami of the Commons
Botao 'Amber' Hu
This speculative design workshop brought participants together to use Protocol Futuring to explore what it would mean for every future commons to have its own AI steward. It uses local kami as a bottom-up metaphor for how stewards might negotiate when overlapping commons collide, contrasting with a top-down metaphor of God in which governance is imposed. Such agentic AI stewards could provide ongoing, programmable care across commons, opens a new design space for commoning.
