Introduction to Ethics of Blockchain Technology

In this MeetUp we will be listening to the IEEE Course titled “Introduction to Ethics of Blockchain Technology” as a group, and discussing the quiz questions at the end. This course is normally $75 but will be offered for free as a one time viewing for IEEE Blockchain Boston.

This module provides an overview of approaches in normative ethics that can be used to evaluate blockchain technologies. Participants will be made familiar with consequentialism, deontology, virtue ethics and care ethics. Furthermore, a simple method for constructing an ethical case study is presented and explained. After completing this module, participants will have:

A basic understanding of the main approaches in normative ethics

A basic understanding of ways to apply these approaches to evaluate blockchain technologies

The basic skills for constructing an ethical “case study” involving a blockchain technology

Pizza will be served!
