Session teaser

The Internet of Things - pervasive, connected devices - reaches into our daily lives with unprecedented intimacy. It offers new ways to tackle societal challenges and new economic opportunities - yet what is the Human Rights' perspective?

Keywords

Human Rights, Internet of Things, privacy, accountability, responsibility

Session description

The Internet of Things (IoT) continues to develop rapidly. Cisco estimates that by 2020, there will be 50 billion Internet-connected devices. IoT devices ranging from health monitoring devices to smart thermostats and smart toothbrushes have become increasingly embedded in our everyday lives. What effect does the spread of IoT have on our own privacy and autonomy, and that of the people around us? How can data protection principles such as consent and limited purpose apply in a world of pervasive connected devices?

IoT It also offers new opportunities for innovation that help us address societal challenges such as early warning systems for natural disasters and IoT-enabled ecosystems that support people to continue living independently much longer than would be possible without those tools. In this way, IoT not only poses a risk to the right to privacy, but also an opportunity to work towards the fulfillment of other human rights, such as the right to health. How does IoT enable human rights and further sustainable development? And how is it changing our assumptions about self, self-determination and self-fulfilment? Our panel of experts will give technical, ethical and practical perspectives on this theme, which affects the lives of all of us.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a combination of protocols and applications, embodied in hard- and software that is opening the doors to exciting new opportunities and innovation, but is also resulting in pressing questions which needs to be answered including:

  1. IoT is extending the Internet to many “Things” that collect and share information and/or act, based on information collected and/or triggered by people. Who is accountable for what?
    a) Who pays for the development and deployment of IoT ecosystems when the commercial application is not feasible but the societal need is high;
    b) If harm results from IoT ecosystems, who “pays” for it?
  2. What is the role of standard setting bodies, the technical community, civil society, governments and and the private sector, in order to help realize a sustainable and trusted IoT ecosystem that supports both commercial applications as non-commercial applications that help address societal challenges?
  3. How can the world achieve a trusted IoT ecosystem when it comes to security and privacy online?

The workshop will discuss the IoT ecosystem from different perspectives quoting examples from Europe and beyond. It will be informed by the work done in IGF context by the Dynamic Coalition on the Internet of Things that has been active since the IGF 2008 in Hyderabad and has presented a document on Global Good Practice for IoT from a multi-stakeholder perspective. The results of this panel will feed into the global IGF 2017 session of the DC IoT.

Format

3-4 very short presentations and a moderated discussion opening the floor to all EuroDIG participants around the questions posted above, leading to messages concerning different issues arising related to IoT and human rights for the discussants to debate and agree or disagree.We look for an open discussion engaging and involving all stakeholders.

    Setting standards is crucial in moving forward with IoT, and in the end a means to keep te overall “costs” (in the broadest sense of the word) as low as possible. Alison will cover standard developing organisation activity in the field of IoT drawing on research from an ESRC project. It outlines the number of SDO fora working on IoT which number over 150 then focuses on the work of the IEEE, W3C and IETF, namely the IEEE’s P2413 group, the IETF’s LPWAN and Thing-to-Thing T2T WF and the W3C’s Web of Things WG, with examples from home utilities monitoring, smart farming and connected cars.
