Abstract
Mobile devices are increasingly evolving into tools to
orientate in and interact with the environment, thus
introducing a user-centric approach to Ambient
Intelligence. The MINAmI project aims at creating core
technologies for these kinds of Ambient Intelligence
services. In this paper we assess five scenarios that
demonstrate forthcoming MINAmI-based devices. A brief
legal and ethical analysis of the scenarios is conducted,
which reveals various conflicting interests. The paper
concludes with some thoughts on drafting ethical
guidelines for Ambient Intelligence applications, as the
nature and the needs of such applications are
intrinsically different from the ones ethical guidelines
have been dealing with earlier.
