Abstract
Assistance systems equipped with artificial intelligence are present in many Internet of Things applications to address information overload and provide automation. These assistant systems blur the boundaries between classical and individual information systems; display behavior classically associated with humans, and aggregate a wide range of information sources. While this development certainly promises a lot of utility for individuals interacting with assistant systems, it is also evident that those systems process a significant amount of personal information. This contribution investigates in how far the usage of assistance systems leads to privacy concerns and explores users’ privacy preferences for assistant systems on the Internet of Things and ultimately quantifies the willingness to pay for various privacy functions of such assistance system.

Users’ Preferences Concerning Privacy Properties of Assistant Systems on the Internet of Things
Assistance systems equipped with artificial intelligence are present in many Internet of Things applications to address information overload and provide automation. These assistant systems blur the boundaries between classical and individual information systems; display behavior classically associated with humans, and aggregate a wide range of information sources. While this development certainly promises a lot of utility for individuals interacting with assistant systems, it is also evident that those systems process a significant amount of personal information. This contribution investigates in how far the usage of assistance systems leads to privacy concerns and explores users’ privacy preferences for assistant systems on the Internet of Things and ultimately quantifies the willingness to pay for various privacy functions of such assistance system.
