This does sound like a powerful tool which can be helpful in these challenging times. I’d like more clarification on how you intend to regulate its use to avoid bad actors utilizing the tool to acquire dual-use information.
Collusion detection and prevention and trust modelling don’t trivially follow from the basic architecture of the system described on the level of this article. Some specific mechanisms should be implemented in the Protocol to have collusion detection and trust modelling. And we don’t have these mechanisms actually developed yet, but we think that they should be doable (though this is still a research bet, not a 100% certainty) because the Gaia Network directly embodies (or is amenable to) all six general principles for anti-collusion mechanism design (agency architecture) proposed by Eric Drexler (and these principles themselves should be further validated via formalisation and proving theorems about the collusion properties of the systems of distributed intelligence).
Of course, there should also be (at least initially, but practically for a very long time, if not forever) “traditional” governance mechanisms of the Gaia Network, nodes, model and data ownership, etc. So, there are a lot of open questions about interfacing GN with existing codes of law, judicial and law enforcement practice, intellectual property, political and governance processes, etc. Some of these interfaces and connections with existing institutions should in practice deal with bad actors and certain types of malicious behaviour on GN.
