The DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) as we know it today was first proposed by Vitalik Buterin in the Ethereum whitepaper. A DAO is basically a loosely organized collective with a "flat" hierarchical structure. These seemingly spontaneous forms of organization emerge around a shared cause or mission. And compared to traditional organizations, a DAO does not necessarily require centralized command.
