4. Embrace Decentralized Solutions: Start exploring decentralized technologies like blockchain and decentralized storage solutions. Understand how they can empower you as the custodian of your data by reducing reliance on third-party intermediaries. Research and adopt decentralized platforms that align with your data ownership goals.

5. Stay Informed About Tokenization: Familiarize yourself with the concept of tokenization and how it can impact data ownership. Learn about the potential benefits and risks of tokenizing your data, and evaluate whether it aligns with your objectives. Stay updated on emerging tokenization platforms or data marketplaces that offer opportunities to securely monetize or share your data.

The road to personal data ownership is a bold, significant step forward, but it represents a necessary departure from the status quo. As we move toward a future powered by data-driven insights, the empowerment of individuals as the gatekeepers of their digital selves will become increasingly important to balance the scales between privacy and progress.

May 25 (Reuters) — OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman has raised $115 million in a Series C funding round led by Blockchain Capital for a cryptocurrency project he co-founded.

The project, Worldcoin, aims to distribute a crypto token to people “just for being a unique individual”. The project uses a device to scan irises to confirm their identity, after which they are given the tokens for free.

Worldcoin has faced criticism for perceived privacy risks. In response to Altman’s tweet introducing the project in 2021, former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden tweeted, “Don’t catalogue eyeballs”.
