What ethics for the IoT and Artificial Intelligence in the digital age?

The development of Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies raises the issue on whether they should also act ethically. On 26 October 2016, I attended the IoT Solutions World Congress, one of the largest events in the world on the Internet of Things, and I had the pleasure of being part of a panel on "Ethical Uses of Data", together with Edy Liongosari from Accenture, Prith Banerjee from Schneider Electric, Derek O'Halloran from the World Economic Forum, Sven Schrecker from Intel and David Blaszkowsky from the Financial Semantics Collaborative. In a few years, we will now own almost anything. Our car, our house and whatever we use during the course of the day will become "as a service". In this context, the sole asset that will belong to individuals is their "digital identity".
