JobT

This document summarizes an agenda for an IoT/Ethics subgroup meeting. It discusses key issues around privacy, security, responsibility, and fairness with the rise of IoT technologies. The group aims to establish objectives to address these issues, such as designing for privacy, responsibility, and public trust. They also discuss assessing the impact of these issues and determining appropriate policy approaches, such as self-regulation or binding law. The meeting will focus on further defining challenges and objectives, and translating the objectives into potential policy options to address the ethical impacts of IoT.
