On Friday, February 14th, the Lab co-hosted guest speaker Quinn DuPont, Assistant Professor in the School of Business at University College Dublin. Professor DuPont studies cyber, crypto, and code. He is an expert in information ethics​​, ​cybersecurity policy, ​digital innovation and governance, ​and blockchains and cryptocurrencies. As part of the Ivey Research Series, Quinn addressed Ivey faculty on the topic of the ethics of research on blockchain. His findings suggest a new class of ethical and normative research practice in this area, comparable to fields such as bio- or nanotechnology ethics. His working paper is available online.
