DAOs are just joke company structures intended to rely on smart contract gimmicks. Take all issues you have with a normal company and then try to add NFT-like structures into it. It is not an AI company idea or the idea of substituting leadership for AI.

I suspect that part of the motivation - perhaps the biggest reason - is to add plausible deniability to any blatantly illegal instructions Zuckerberg gives.
We already live in a world where it's hard to punish CEOs because they know to give those instructions verbally and have their subordinates start the paper trail for them so that there's a fall guy if and when the organization is caught doing something illegal. It may very well be possible, in the near future, for Zuckerberg to tell subordinates to do something blatantly unethical or illegal (such as directly impersonating people on Facebook to interact with their family members as a form of advertising) and then, when questioned, simply say, "It was the AI, not me; I can't be punished for something I didn't do, and the AI can't be punished because it isn't a human." No need to take the risk of someone spilling the beans on it anymore; as long as it's done over a video call or through an email, he can always claim the AI did it, and due to the burden of proof resting on the accuser/prosecution, it could be very nearly impossible to prove any personal culpability for anything - especially if there are no meaningful logs of the AI's activities.
And given how poorly the regulatory environment in most of the world is keeping up with the rapid progress of AI technology (often not even trying, or in the case of the USA, actively trying to prohibit regulation before it can even start), plus our reluctance to ever meaningfully punish the organization itself beyond a fine that's trivial to them, it will probably work.
