Abstract: Insights →To make consent meaningful, we need greater "apparency" of how data is being used.→ For the scale and speed of the IoT, apparency/consent decisions will need to be automated on our behalf.→ There is rich potential to create human-centered, nuanced services that can leverage the negotiation of consent/sharing terms.100 images gets you a tax credit.But you're not sharing these with pet shopsyou don't have a pet.And they don't need to know that.Right now, many feel like personal data use is heading toward the Minority Report dystopia.HCI and AI are well placed to reimagine personal data sharing as a more equitable, negotiable, and sustainable practice than either today's take-it-or-leave-it, agree-ornot approach or tomorrow's dystopian disempowered bombardment.Research and design in HCI will help create that better future.Indeed, this article focuses on how, with the Internet of Things (IoT) about to explode, it is essential that HCI, along with AI, embrace this space, and design it from a human-centered, human-valued perspective.We propose several concepts and questions to help envision the IoT as such a consentful, human-centered space.Remember the scene in Minority Report where Tom Cruise's character walks through a mall and is met with a barrage of ads? Somehow the stores have his data and can deliver customized ads that today's social media campaigns can only dream of.We find the bombardment hideous.This is the predicted future of the smart home, city, and vehicle-or rather, the dystopian view.There is an alternative.Imagine walking through these same areas without the ads because, like the entourage of a celebrity, you have agents working on your behalf to fend them off, while making sure your mom-or other important or personally interesting information-can still reach you.After all, you're not against sharing some of your personal data.Your agents know you'll be happy to share your photos of local dogs with an SPCA citizen-science project about strays in town, where every The Internet of Things: Interaction Challenges to Meaningful Consent at Scale m.
