About this paper

Joydeep Chandra, Satyam Kumar Navneet

A study analyzes the ethical complexities of proactive agentic AI in smart homes, focusing on the unique risks to vulnerable user groups. It proposes an integrated framework for responsible innovation, combining human-centered and participatory design with technical patterns to foster transparent, inclusive, and trustworthy household automation.

Key insights

  • The shift from reactive to proactive agentic AI fundamentally alters human-AI interaction dynamics, introducing new ethical tensions related to continuous data collection, surveillance, and user control.
  • Vulnerable user groups face distinct and heightened ethical risks from agentic AI, necessitating tailored design approaches beyond generic ethical guidelines for privacy, consent, and explainability.
  • Translating abstract ethical principles into practical, actionable design patterns for complex household AI systems requires a combined approach of human-centered methodologies, technical control mechanisms, and continuous stakeholder engagement.
