GENTE D7.3 Data Privacy and Smart Language ABC – Report

This deliverable explores the use of blockchain technology in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and highlights its potential risks if misapplied. While blockchain is valuable for decentralization, excessive reliance on it can lead to technocratic solutions that overlook the real needs of the SDGs. Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), privacy control, and human-readable languages are proposed as mechanisms to emphasize the technology’s limitations.
