The Spy in the
Coffee Machine
Kieron O’Hara and Nigel Shadbolt
What do you know about the new surveillance
state that has been created in the wake of pervasive
computing, that is, the increasing use of very
small and simple computers in all sorts of host—from
your computer to your coat Well, these little computers
can communicate via the web and form powerful
networks whose emergent behavior can be very complex,
intelligent, and invasive. The question is: how
much of an infringement on privacy are they and
could these intelligent networks be used by governments,
criminals or terrorists to undermine privacy or
commit crimes
From CCTVs to blogging, from cookies to RFID
tags, we are sleepwalking into a new state of global
hypersurveillance. And when even cans of Coke are
connected to the internet, the risk of someone misusing
this information is very high indeed.
Kieron O’Hara is Senior Research Fellow in Electronics
and Computer Science at the University of
Southampton, UK. Nigel Shadbolt is Professor of Artificial
Intelligence at the University of Southampton, UK
and President of the British Computer Society.
