Presentation
Robots have long captured our imagination, and many real-world designs borrow from popular culture. While they were originally intended to perform dull, dangerous and dirty tasks, most non-industrial robots today are made to be companions — acting more like friends than tools. Social robots can become part of our private and intimate lives, affecting our physical and psychological well-being and challenging our right to privacy. That close human–robot interaction creates privacy risks that go beyond data privacy. Privacy is more than control over data; it also covers autonomy, personal development, the ability to establish relationships and the right to be left alone. Whether intentional or not, robots can deceive, manipulate or foster emotional attachment in their interactions with people. In this talk, Naomi will give some examples on how social robots can intrude on our privacy and suggest ways to reduce the risk.
