The ISTAG advisory group suggests that the following characteristics will permit the societal acceptance of ambient intelligence:
- AmI should facilitate human contact.
- AmI should be oriented towards community and cultural enhancement.
- AmI should help to build knowledge and skills for work, better quality of work, citizenship and consumer choice.
- AmI should inspire trust and confidence.
- AmI should be consistent with long term sustainability — personal, societal and environmental — and with lifelong learning.
- AmI should be made easy to live with and controllable by ordinary people.

“If twins are believed to be less intelligent as a class than single-born children, it is not surprising that many times they are also seen as ripe for social and academic problems in school. No one knows the extent to which these kind of attitudes affect the behavior of multiples in school, and virtually nothing is known from a research point of view about social behavior of twins over the age of six or seven, because this hasn’t been studied either.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“No society has been able to abolish human sadness, no political system can deliver us from the pain of living, from our fear of death, our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition, not vice versa.”
