BMRI Research seminar, January 2019
Dr Beth Kewell, 91亚色APP下载 of Exeter Business School
The Business & Management Research Institute (BMRI) arranged a research seminar by Dr Beth Kewell, Research Fellow, 91亚色APP下载 of Exeter Business School, in Luton on 14 January 2019.
The seminar was titled 鈥淏lockchains in Many Shapes, Sizes and Ethical Guises?鈥 and provided an ethical perspective compared to several technical seminars by previous BMRI speakers (e.g., Dr Tom Kirkham and Dr Kyle Alves).
Blockchain technology projects are becoming highly diffuse across industry and society. According to Beth, as knowledge of blockchain technology has spread, so too have concerns about their efficacy -- and the moral stance of their backers. Her talk explored an emerging frontier in the Ethics of Technology, in which a variety of claims are made for and against the virtues of blockchain innovations. Beth summarised key challenges integral to the assessment of the moral hazards posed by blockchain research using a range of case study examples in the UK.
The seminar was attended by staff members and PGR students.
