This practical workshop will provide an applied overview of how Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), Blockchain, and Smart Contracts can transform the way organizations manage and share data securely, traceably, and efficiently. Participants will explore the new paradigm of intelligent data ecosystems, understanding the role of each technology: blockchain as a trust layer and immutable record, smart contracts as a secure automation mechanism, and GenAI as a tool for analysis and decision-making support. Key aspects for real-world adoption will also be addressed: integration into data space architectures, risks and limitations of GenAI, smart contract security, data governance, and energy impact. No prior knowledge is required.
