My Lecture about the IoT and Data Privacy

We live in a world where even brushing our teeth can constitute the transmission of data to servers across the world. One day, we will sleep with smart pillows that will be able to detect our stress levels and send them to an app on our phone. We already wear fitness trackers all day, every day. What does this mean for our privacy? This is what I talked about during my 2-hour guest lecture at Malmö University on December 15.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is all around us, and with it comes an increased risk of privacy and security breaches. In the age of the IoT, we must be cautious about the information we make available to the public or share with shops and manufacturers. We must also consider how businesses may exploit personal data to discriminate against us or charge us extra since they have more knowledge about us thanks to these devices.
