This podcast focuses on the future of technology in media, made by the BBC’s own Research & Development team and explains the innovation behind it.
In this final episode of Inside R&D’s inaugural series, Joseph Turner is joined by Nigel Earnshaw, an R&D Engineer, to demystify decentralised, distributed ledger technology (DLT). We explore why this tech has captured global attention, the risks that are emerging around it, and how it might have the potential to solve real world problems and even benefit the media industry. From creator remuneration to misinformation, we ask: can blockchain be a force for public good? And what role could the BBC play in shaping its ethical future?
