Judging from skimming the links it looks to me like it's more of a social platform for collections of people to come to a conclusion. So instead of what is generally considered A.I. this would be more aptly called C.I. (as in, Collective Intelligence).

Governments could respond by making drones illegal, encryption illegal, publication of research illegal, diy electronics illegal, etc. All of which don't sound particularly nice to me either, but then again... these things are already happening, right?
