Social ethics in Internet of Things: An outline and review

Abstract

Internet of Things(IoT) is still in infancy. There are concerns that IoT can jeopardize privacy as side-effects of providing the desired services. Social effects of IoT should be considered as an important part of IoT-human interaction. The interaction between IoT entities and people's lives makes it more necessary to have full transparency such that people themselves can evaluate how the IoT affects their lives. Trust between people and IoT industry is a significant issue for a more mature IoT. This paper reviews the different aspects of social ethics in IoT including equity, equality, and trustability. Effects of IoT in social human life and vital factors are explained. We review different factors that can increase the acceptance of IoT. The core of the paper is designing a guideline to interact with IoT from a social perspective. Finally, general policies are suggested for a roadmap for the future.
