“Emerging Technology” from the 19-th
century and “The Right to Privacy”
“to protect the privacy of the individual from invasion either by
the too enterprising press, the photographer, or the possessor
of any other modern device for rewording or reproducing
scenes or sounds“
Warren and Brandeis, “The Right to Privacy”, Harvard Law Review,
Dec 15, 1890
(Will F. Jenkins)

Privacy impacts of new technologies
threats to privacy
enhancement of privacy
change of perception
(sensitivity to privacy)

Internet of Things (IoT)
A worldwide system of interconnected intuitive
networks that pay attention to us, knows our likes
and desires, and proactively feeds us the information
we need to act (or acts by itself)...
HP Vision: Central Nervous System for the Earth
(CeNSE)
“trillions of nanoscale sensors and actuators embedded in the
environment…. in everyday electronics…track hospital equipment,
sniff out pesticides in food, “recognize” the person using them
and adapt.”
will cost "next to nothing, yet measure everything."
Availability of unprecedented amounts of (private?) data
Molecular Nanosensors
Unprecedented surveillance & sensing
capabilities
“Molecularly naked” patients:
nano-devices “could allow insurance companies to know
more about our bodies than we do”
C. Toumey, “Nature Nanotechnology”, Apr. 2007

Collection and “mining” of machine-sensed
data from mobile phones, cellular tower
identifiers, GPS signals and other sensors, to
discover patterns in daily user activity.
Massive collection of data pertaining to human social behavior
obviously raises privacy questions, especially if the anonymisation of
data is difficult.
IoT + Nanosensors + Reality Mining =
???
Synthetic Telepathy
"By 2035, an implantable chip could
be wired directly to the user’s
brain….. including mind-to-mind or
telepathic dialogue.”
(UK MOD think tank)
Ultimate invasion of privacy?
Or total change of privacy perception?
– if even thinking is not private anymore!

“Invisibility Cloak”
Perfect PET?
Or total change of privacy perception?
