Comment on Is the blockchain an interesting innovation, aside from cryptocurrencies ?

I've been thinking about this for a while, and would love to have other, more knowledgeable (hopefully!) opinions on this:
I've been dwelling on how we might be able to enforce some sort of set of rules or widely agreed upon "morals" on artificial general intelligence systems, which is something that should almost certainly be distributed in order a single entity from seizing control of it (governments, private individuals, corporations, or any AGI systems), and which would also allow a potentially growing set of rules or directives that couldn't be edited or controlled by a singular actor--at least in theory.
What other consideration would need to be made? Is this a plausibly good use of this technology?

Blockchain is at its core just an Excel spreadsheet. The only thing it adds is some form of distributed consensus (which may or may not work depending on who you ask).
If you can figure out how to use an Excel spreadsheet to enforce morals in an AI system, then you’re good to go.
