Governance 3.0 — Andrew McLaughlin

My first big conference post-COVID was the excellent Unfinished Live, held at The Shed in NYC in October 2021. I put together what turned out to be a brisk and (for me, anyway) entertaining discussion on “Governance 3.0” with Kickstarter co-founder, artist and all-around brilliant thinker Perry Chen, Georgetown professor of philosophy and director of its ethics lab Maggie Little, and technologist, decentralization architect, and Unfinished Labs president Braxton Woodham. The video is below; a transcript is here.
