# Governance Frameworks > **Machine-Evolution Nexus:** [[articles/Digital Darwinism and the Invisible World of Machine Evolution|Digital Darwinism and the Invisible World of Machine Evolution]] provides the evolutionary and computational context for this supporting concept. **Domain:** Governance / Institutions **Doc Type:** Supporting Canonical Node **Maturity:** Developed ## Definition Governance frameworks are the rules, roles, procedures and enforcement systems through which collective decisions and conflicts are handled. ## Nexus Context Digital populations require governance of replication, resources, modification, exit and recognition. These functions cannot be reduced to a technical objective alone. ## Relationships [[wiki/AI Governance|AI Governance]], [[wiki/Rights|Rights]], [[wiki/Consensus Mechanisms|Consensus Mechanisms]], [[wiki/Design for Dignity|Design for Dignity]] ## Simple Reminders, Quotations, and Thoughts > "When I think about the machines that can think, i.e. the AI, I think of them as technology that needs to be developed with similar (if not greater!) care." > **— Jaan Tallinn**, *2015, Edge annual question “What Do You Think About Machines That Think?”* [[reminders/AI Control/AI Must Be Developed With Greater Care by Jaan Tallinn|AI Must Be Developed With Greater Care by Jaan Tallinn]] > "Artificial Intelligence (AI) is commonly used as a tool to augment our own thinking." > **— Gary Klein**, *2015, Edge annual question “What Do You Think About Machines That Think?”* [[reminders/AI Control/Artificial Intelligence Augments Human Thinking by Gary Klein|Artificial Intelligence Augments Human Thinking by Gary Klein]] > "Iron law approaches to artificial and biological intelligence reveal a different set of engineering problems." > **— John Tooby**, *2015, Edge annual question “What Do You Think About Machines That Think?”* [[reminders/AI Control/Artificial and Biological Intelligence Share Engineering Problems by John Tooby|Artificial and Biological Intelligence Share Engineering Problems by John Tooby]] > "Fear of AI is the latest incarnation of our primal unconscious fear of an all-knowing, all powerful angry God dominating us but in a new ethereal form." > **— James Croak**, *2015, Edge annual question “What Do You Think About Machines That Think?”* [[reminders/Risk Debate/Fear of AI Repeats Fear of an Angry God by James Croak|Fear of AI Repeats Fear of an Angry God by James Croak]] > "Machines that think make it possible for more people to celebrate the joy of human intuitive insight, and to cultivate the equanimity that is unique to the self-controlled human mind." > **— Nina Jablonski**, *2015, Edge annual question “What Do You Think About Machines That Think?”* [[reminders/AI Control/Thinking Machines Could Deepen Human Intuition by Nina Jablonski|Thinking Machines Could Deepen Human Intuition by Nina Jablonski]] ## Sources / Provenance - Developed from the cited research in the central article and the surrounding continuity, rights and evolutionary architecture.
