  1. INTERNET OF THINGS: A CHALLENGE OR TECHNOLOGICAL FETISHISM Marie-Pierre Besnard Université de Caen Basse-Normandie - NIMEC Frédérique Alfonsi Université de Caen Basse-Normandie - CREM Innovation and Regulation in Digital Services Chair Conference on Internet of Things September 26, 2012

  2. IoT concept(1) • No standard definition of IoT • technological aspects • uses and features • Novelty of the IoTconcept: association of various technologies as • nanotechnologies • radiofrequency • Internet • This association facilitates the development of intelligent things 2/11

  3. IoT concept (2)  • Characteristics of these intelligent things • analyze their environment • communicate with one another • Ambient intelligence brings IoT potentialities to light • Problematic To keep IoT potentialities mechanisms that establish confidence and territorial-oriented strategies must implement together 3/11

  4. IoT potentialities (1) • A considerable challenge • 2 connected things / average user • 7 within 3 years • 25 billion of wireless devices around the world • Technological factors • generalized communication abilities • geo-localized databases • planning tools Hybridization between the real world and the virtual world 4/11

  5. IoTpotentialities (2) • IoT potentialities come from the creation of virtual worlds • reproduction of physical/real worlds • immersion • interaction in real time • Redefinition of information concept & • Transformation of its communication media • Ambient information whose characteristics are • augmented human • sensitiveenvironment • Centralization of information • Reduction of information asymmetries • Reduction of uncertainty/risks 5/11

  6. IoTpotentialities (3) Not only a technologicalapproach But a technicist, fetishistapproach Because this approach forgets uses and then individuals = technological fetishism • 3 conceptions of IoT • the uses depend on packaging • the contents justify the technological choice • matching between technology, things and uses. • To outdo this kind of approach we must • change our conception • adopta cross-disciplinary approach 6/11

  7. Confidence in IoT (1) • IoT leads to collect more information in individual environment fears becauseof risks of intrusion in the privatelife Problemof the confidence in the IoT • To establish confidence Need to surpass fetishist approach • Differentapproaches of confidence • conventionnal • psychological • sociological Importance of cooperation and coordination 7/11

  8. Confidence in IoT (2) 2 conditions to allow confidence in IoT • Rules definition about • standard that establishes interoperability and technological convergence • the enacment of rules about private life protection • 2) The question of uses and contents • the representation of the world • the identification with virtual space • the mediation with different audiences 8/11

  9. Local strategies (1) Reconsideration of approach angle the local level is the relevant scale for IoT Because appropriation processes can only emerge at local level Closeness relations 3 coordination mechanisms 9/11

  10. Local strategies (2) • That is at this level that “new” public strategies can develop • Because of driving effects due to • infrastructure expansion • externalities • Example of smart cities: a real economic development core for territories in favourof • open innovation (living labs) • needs, expectations and expressions of citizenship Big Push gamble • But if there is no overall vision innovations can be counterproductive 10/11

  11. Conclusion • IoT must not onlyconcern a new formof use induced by technological evolution • IoT conception supposes a new approach in the definition of • object • subject • actor • and agent THAT IS THE CHALLENGE 11/11
