Safeguards in a World of Ambient Intelligence
Boek - Boek
In the near future, every manufactured product, our clothes, money, appliances, the paint on our walls, the carpets on our floors, our cars, will be embedded with intelligence, networks of tiny sensors and actuators, which some have termed smart dust or an Internet of Things. The world of ambient intelligence (AmI) is not far off. We already have surveillance systems, biometrics, personal communicators, machine learning and more. Ambient intelligence will provide personalised services, and know more about us, on a scale dwarfing anything hitherto available.
Safeguards in a World of Ambient Intelligence, a new book written by a European consortium of researchers, serves as a warning. It aims to warn policymakers, industry, academia, civil society organisations, the media and the public about the threats and vulnerabilities facing our privacy, identity, trust, security and inclusion in the rapidly approaching world of ambient intelligence.
In the AmI vision, ubiquitous computing, communications and interfaces converge and adapt to the user. AmI promises greater user-friendliness in an environment capable of recognising and responding to the presence of different individuals in a seamless, unobtrusive and often invisible way. While most stakeholders paint the promise of AmI in sunny colours, there is a dark side to AmI as well.
This book illustrates the threats and vulnerabilities by means of four dark scenarios and then identifies safeguards to counter the foreseen threats and vulnerabilities. The authors make recommendations to policymakers and other stakeholders about what they can do to maximise the benefits from ambient intelligence and minimise the negative consequences.
