PRIVACY, SECURITY, AND LIABILITY ISSUES IN A CONNECTED WORLD

Abstract

The proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices has resulted in the generation of enor- mous amounts of data in a connected world. The technical challenges of dealing with this enormous volume of data is dwarfed by signif- icant privacy, security, and liability concerns. By extending standard models of information disclosure through integrating persuasion and legal aspects, we offer novel insights into the shape of future information technology systems. Specifically, we expect that artificially intelligent

machines will allow organizations to decentral- ize parts of their information technology at the device level. However, such a new approach to a connected world requires careful investigation of these issues. Three case studies are used to analyze privacy and liability issues by employing an information disclosure model.
