In the weeks leading up to BAR Seminar: Blockchain And Risk Management on 24 May 2019 in Malta, we’re asking our invited expert speakers…

QUESTION: What does the future hold for blockchain and risk management?

ANSWER – Ivana Bartoletti, Head of Privacy and Data Protection at Gemserv

Blockchain holds tremendous opportunities across many sectors, and that includes the promise to operationalise a key principle of modern data privacy doctrine; data sovereignty and stewardship. However for this to happen, technology must meet the law and embrace ethics to ensure that innovation happens for the public good.

If we want blockchain to represent a real opportunity, than the future needs to see public policy, ethics and privacy principles embedded into the blockchain design. The more we do that, the more this technology can become an opportunity to counterbalance the centralised approach to data management that we are accustomed to.
