Description
As one of the most disruptive technology, IoT spreads in numerous areas of our lives and its potential is estimated with enormously high digits. Although discussions about ethics of emerging technologies are at the forefront, e.g., for artificial intelligence, IoT specific ethical considerations remain crucial, but scarce. Based on a structured literature review, this research identifies and structures ethical issues of IoT, provides an overview of the current state of research for each aspect, and relates each aspect to IoTs' features. Based on these results, concrete options for further research are provided, including suggestions for an examination of the transferability of known ethical issues from other technologies to IoT, identification of further ethical issues based on features and applications of IoT, a thorough examination of know ethical issues, and a positive view on IoT ethics. The results raise awareness for an intense examination of IoT ethics in research and practice.
