Dezentrum Meetup @ Trust Square Zürich on March 1st: Blockchain and our societies - an ethical appraisal
In a panel co-organised by ethix – lab for innovation ethics and Dezentrum, think tank for decentralisation, we discuss the ethical issues that arise in the context of blockchain technology. The event is open for anyone interested in this topic.
„The future of social impact is… blockchain.“ - David Hessekiel, 2018
The impact of blockchain technology on our societies is yet to be seen, despite there being many excellent plans and projects. Notwithstanding sceptical voices, blockchain has the potential to be a disruptive innovation. However, innovation does not have to be equal with societal progress. This is why we need to deal with ethical values behind blockchain. What use cases exist, where blockchain technology is not just innovative but yields true societal improvement? And what value proposition do cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology present for our societies? We will address these questions together with Monique Morrow, co-funder of „Humanized Internet", Tobias A. Huber, member of the Chair of Entrepreneurial Risks at ETH Zurich, and Delphine Bracher, innovation ethicist at ethix - lab for innovation ethics.
