The internet is fundamentally broken and we have no control over our data? Could blockchain technology fix this?

In her TEDx talk, Shermin talks about privacy in the machine age and why we need to redefine human rights for the data-driven world we live in today.

She is also advisor of Jolocom, a blockchain based self-sovereign identity protocol and Wunder, a decentralized Art Museum.

She regularly speaks at conferences and consults on Blockchains and the social impact of future technologies. Shermin did her Ph.D. in IT-Management at the Vienna University of Economics, where she used to work as an assistant professor and currently lectures blockchain related topics.
