Defensive accelerationism (d/acc) is a philosophical movement advocating differential technological development to mitigate existential risks while promoting human flourishing. First articulated by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin in his 2023 essay "My Techno-Optimism," d/acc prioritizes technologies that enhance defense, decentralization, democracy, and safety.
Etymology
The term "d/acc" references defense, decentralization, democracy, and differential development, distinguishing it from effective accelerationism (e/acc).
Core principles
- Defense: Biosecurity, cyber defenses, resilient supply chains - Decentralization: Distributed systems reducing centralized power - Democracy: Equitable access and oversight in innovation - Differential development: Accelerate safe tech, slow dangerous tech
History
Building on Nick Bostrom's differential technological development, Buterin formalized d/acc in November 2023 amid AI governance debates.
Applications
- Pandemic prevention (decentralized vaccines, detection) - AI safety and alignment tools - Information ecosystem improvements like "Community Notes for everything"
