论文摘要
对“智能”设备的广泛使用越来越广泛地提出了有关其在国内空间中使用的多种道德问题。先前研究这种道德维度的工作通常涉及对特定设备和使用环境提出的关注的经验研究，或者在一般而言的“智能家庭”中涉及的抽象概念（例如自治，隐私或信任）概述。本文试图通过询问用户认为将其视为“智能”的智能设备的哪些功能以及这些方法与道德问题的关系来弥合这些方法。通过对智能设备用户（n = 120）和半结构化访谈（n = 15）的调查，包括对多种方法进行的调查，我们识别并描述了八种类型的智慧，并探讨了它们如何引起各种道德问题，包括隐私，自治和社会秩序中断。我们认为，这一中间立场是在特定设备引起的关注点与更抽象的道德概念之间，可以更好地预期有关智能设备的潜在道德问题。
The increasingly widespread use of 'smart' devices has raised multifarious ethical concerns regarding their use in domestic spaces. Previous work examining such ethical dimensions has typically either involved empirical studies of concerns raised by specific devices and use contexts, or alternatively expounded on abstract concepts like autonomy, privacy or trust in relation to 'smart homes' in general. This paper attempts to bridge these approaches by asking what features of smart devices users consider as rendering them 'smart' and how these relate to ethical concerns. Through a multimethod investigation including surveys with smart device users (n=120) and semi-structured interviews (n=15), we identify and describe eight types of smartness and explore how they engender a variety of ethical concerns including privacy, autonomy, and disruption of the social order. We argue that this middle ground, between concerns arising from particular devices and more abstract ethical concepts, can better anticipate potential ethical concerns regarding smart devices.
