This audio production is intended to introduce new technologies that impact our lives, like digital assets, central bank digital currencies and artificial intelligence in an easy to understand way to a larger audience.

This episode examines Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and what consumer surveys have shown across the globe. The discussion summarizes several European and American surveys on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).   Respondents consistently prioritized security and data privacy, with cost-free usage also playing an important role.  European studies emphasized acceptance as a universal means of payment, while U.S. surveys revealed low awareness of CBDCs and concerns about government surveillance. Overall, the findings highlight the four priorities and additionally the need for transparent communication and user-friendly designs to ensure the successful introduction of CBDCs. 

The goal is to bring this important subject closer to the listeners, in an attempt to explain what CBDCs are, how they can be realised technically and how their designs will influence our society.
