What are your rights to privacy in 
the IoT?Many systems can be 
used for both good and ill: Video sur veillance may be tremendously help ful in allowing senior citizens stay in 
their homes longer and parents to 
monitor their newborns; they can also 
expose private behavior to unscrupu lous viewers and unwanted intrusion.Some have suggested that individu als should have a basic right to opt 
out, delete, or mask their information 
from systems in the IoT, providing 
one tenet of a potential IoT "Bill of 
Rights." However, it may be infeasible 
or impossible for an individual to con trol all the data generated about them 
by IoT systems. Interestingly, strong individual 
privacy rights may also mean less so cial benefit. Too many "opt-outs" may 
erode the public and private value of 
IoT datasets,3
 negatively impacting 
their social benefit--imagine a Google 
map where locations come and go. 
The complexity of providing useful 
services subject to dynamic participa tion and evolving individual prefer ences may be extraordinarily complex 
to develop and administer.Will we need to develop and in corporate "artificial ethics" into auto mated systems to help them respond 
in environments when there are good 
and bad choices? If so, whose ethics 
should be applied? Toward a Framework 
for Thinking About Principles 
and Policy for the IoT 
What might a general IoT governance 
model look like? In 2008, the Forum 
for a New World Governance devel oped the "World Governance Index" 
(WGI) focusing on peace and security, 
democracy and the rule of law, human 
rights, development and participation, 
and sustainability.As IoT technolo gies become more pervasive, personal 
information will become more valu able to a diverse set of actors that in clude organizations, individuals, and 
autonomous systems with the capac ity to make decisions about you.Sustainable development of the IoT 
as part of a larger societal and tech nological ecosystem, including its 
impact on biological systems (for ex ample, 3D-printed organs, implants), 
environmental systems, and natural 
resources).The first step 
is to pursue the discussions, studies, 
task forces, commissions, and pilots 
that will help develop governance for 
an empowering and enabling IoT.Policy for IoT safety, security and 
privacy, requiring the development of 
viable approaches promoting individ ual rights, data security, and trust, as 
well as disincentives and penalties for 
inappropriate behavior, corruption, 
and crime.In his highly popular and visionary 
books, Isaac Asimov posited four laws 
of robotics1,2 on the basic theme that 
robots may not harm humans (or hu manity), or, by inaction, allow humans 
(humanity) to come to harm.The IoT will sharpen the ten sion between individual privacy and 
the use of personal information to pro mote effectiveness, safety, and secu rity.2.3.???
