intentiot
Intentiot is a term used to describe intent-aware Internet of Things (IoT) systems that infer user goals and act to fulfill them with minimal explicit input. Coined in discussions of usable and proactive computing, the word combines 'intent' and 'IoT' to emphasize devices that anticipate aims rather than merely react to commands.
Operationally, intentiot systems gather context from sensors, device state, calendar data, location, and past interactions. Using
Applications span homes, offices, and industrial settings, including climate and lighting adjustments based on perceived activity,
Design considerations include privacy and data minimization, on-device processing to limit transmission, transparency about inferred intents,
Critics point to risks of privacy intrusion, misinterpretation, bias in inference, and potential safety hazards from
