Ambient Intelligence - Social and Political Aspects

Social and Political Aspects

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.
