Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices are increasingly used in shared spaces (e.g., homes, apartments, schools, hospitals, workplaces, and cities), turning these spaces into smart environments. Different stakeholders in these environments, including both direct users of smart devices and non-users such as visitors or bystanders, have unique privacy needs and expectations. Although prior research shows evidence of conflicts among stakeholders, there has been less investigation regarding how stakeholders resolve such conflicts and negotiate their privacy options. This interdisciplinary project is investigating different stakeholders’ privacy negotiation behaviors in smart environments by designing, developing, and deploying an interactive system to collect people’s real-world privacy negotiation behaviors. The project is contributing solutions that help people manage and negotiate their privacy in various smart environments, especially when their privacy needs conflict with others’. The results will also inform privacy negotiations within other emerging technologies (e.g., virtual reality and the metaverse).This project moves beyond the lab setting to investigate and support stakeholders’ privacy negotiation behaviors in real-world smart environments. To do this, the project team is identifying contextual factors that lead to privacy concerns across multiple stakeholder groups and complex smart environments through the lens of privacy as “contextual integrity”. It is capturing stakeholders’ privacy negotiation behaviors in the real world by iteratively designing and implementing a tool that collects data on smart environmental contexts and privacy negotiation behaviors in real-world smart environments. Finally, it is developing a data-driven approach to support privacy negotiations in the real-world and evaluating its long-term impact on different stakeholder groups through field studies. The team is facilitating the future extension of this work to other new technologies by publicly sharing the anonymized dataset collected using the developed system, features of the project’s machine learning models, and a working prototype of the system.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

越来越多地用于共享空间（例如房屋，公寓，学校，医院，工作场所和城市），将这些空间变成智能环境。这些环境中的不同利益相关者，包括智能设备的直接用户和访问者或旁观者等非用户的直接用户，都有独特的隐私需求和期望。尽管先前的研究表明了利益相关者之间发生冲突的证据，但关于利益相关者如何解决此类冲突和谈判其隐私选择权的投资较少。这个跨学科的项目正在通过设计，开发和部署互动系统来收集人们的真实世界隐私谈判行为，从而调查智能环境中不同利益相关者的隐私谈判行为。该项目正在贡献解决方案，以帮助人们在各种智能环境中管理和协商其隐私，尤其是当他们的隐私需要与他人冲突时。结果还将为其他新兴技术（例如，虚拟现实和元评估）内的隐私谈判提供信息。本项目超越了实验室环境，以调查和支持利益相关者在现实世界中的智能环境中的隐私谈判行为。为此，项目团队正在确定上下文因素，从而导致多个利益相关者群体的隐私问题，并通过隐私视角将其视为“上下文完整性”。它通过迭代设计和实施一种工具来收集有关现实世界中智能环境中的智能环境环境和隐私谈判行为的数据，从而捕获现实世界中利益相关者的隐私谈判行为。最后，它正在开发一种数据驱动的方法，以支持现实世界中的隐私谈判，并通过现场研究评估其对不同利益相关者群体的长期影响。该团队通过公开共享使用已开发系统收集的匿名数据集，项目机器学习模型的功能以及系统的工作原型来支持将这项工作的未来扩展到其他新技术。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过该基金会的知识分子优点和广泛影响来评估的支持，并被认为是宝贵的支持。
