The DAO: a radical experiment that could be the future of decentralised governance



A Russian-Canadian, Vitalik Buterin is trying to replace managers and directors with technology. He is the co-creator of a platform, Ethereum, which aims to automate management through codified rules that determine what can be done within an organisation through smart contracts.
