IOT and Blockchain: Legal Issues and Risks
Summary
By 2020, it's expected that there will be over 200 billion connected sensor devices to include wearables, telephone devices, internet connected homes, and autonomous cars. These devices will communicate with each other and create immutable records on the blockchain. While these connected devices will provide a multitude of social and individual benefits, they also raise a host of legal issues.
For example, who owns the information generated by the data? How can this data be used? Are the sensors secured? Who is liable if there is a breach? Are consumers aware of the legal implications raised by the collection of such information? What laws or regulations are currently in existence to regulate this subject area?
This 90-minute webinar examines these legal issues, which arise in the context of the intersection between the Blockchain and the internet of things ("IoT"). Join us to discover:
- How to prepare for the challenges: successfully address stability, privacy, legal and regulatory concerns
