I saw Buterin's talk that same year at the Texas Bitcoin Conference. I believe he's laid out the organizational baseline for a distributed future. But I am worried about possible malicious use cases like NSA-backed botnets.

Can someone tell me if it's even possible that these types of contracts be blacklisted?

Maybe an organization only trusts friends or friends of friends. The NSA isn't the only one that can put people on lists.

Doesn't need to be AI, just has to automatically execute contracts given certain parameters and human inputs.
