Abstract:
The Internet of Things is an important component of the smart technology era. It is the way the world is now moving at an accelerated pace. It has enormous benefits to individuals, groups, companies, and enterprises. Like any other technology, however, it brings ethical challenges requiring governments to develop a legal framework to address those concerns over this technology. This study investigates these challenges in the context of the United Arab Emirates as the government has imposed policies to safeguard the ethical use of the Internet of Things. The study concludes that IoT is a sought-after innovation in the UAE but suffers from deployment without compliance to current regulations and ethics which is becoming mandatory.
Keywords –IoT, IoT regulation, moral dimensions, ethics, the UAE. |
