Building a More Ethical Blockchain
Listen now
Description
Blockchain can help with a variety of social and economic challenges—from securing identity for refugee or homeless populations to minimizing the presence of conflict diamonds in the industry’s supply chain. But at the end of the day, technology is just a tool serving an end, and one that must be handled carefully to manage the values embedded within it. In this recording from our 2019 Data on Purpose conference, Cara LaPointe, senior fellow at the Beeck Center for Social Impact and Innovation at Georgetown University, shares questions concepts from her Blockchain Ethical Design Framework to help practitioners interrogate whether a technology is created with ethics in mind. https://ssir.org/podcasts/entry/building_a_more_ethical_blockchain
