Presentation on Blockchain, Ethics and Human Rights for the Information Technology course (CE-245) conducted in the 1st Semester of 2023. Ethics in the context of blockchain involves fundamental considerations regarding transparency, privacy, security, and accountability. While blockchain offers benefits such as immutability, decentralization, and data integrity, it also presents ethical challenges that need to be addressed. Issues like privacy concerns due to the transparency of blockchain data, the importance of robust cybersecurity measures to prevent fraud and data breaches, and the need for fair dispute resolution mechanisms are crucial. Additionally, ensuring equitable access and distribution of blockchain benefits is essential for ethical blockchain implementation, avoiding widening socioeconomic disparities. Overall, a holistic approach that prioritizes transparency, privacy, security, accountability, and fairness is necessary to maximize the ethical application of blockchain technology.
