Knowledge Integration Colloquium
Professor Srinivasan Keshav
May 2, 2018
KIC title:
The New Star Wars: Blockchain and the Future of Politics
Intro/abstract:
Most organizations today, such as energy utilities, banks, corporations, and governments centralize power and governance in the hands of a few decision-makers. By allowing coordination between mutually untrusted entities, blockchains could create fundamentally new organizational structures that has the potential to remake these organizations and provide a greater level of transparency than ever before. In this KIC, I will briefly touch upon the technical aspects of blockchains and the basis for their transformative power. I hope this will serve as the basis for a deeper and cross-disciplinary discussion on the hope, hype, and perils of blockchains.
