Artificial intelligence (AI) systems connected to sensor-laden devices are becoming
pervasive, which has notable implications for a range of AI risks, including to privacy, the
environment, autonomy and more. There is therefore a growing need for increased
accountability around the responsible development and deployment of these technologies.
Here we highlight the dimensions of risk associated with AI systems that arise from the
material affordances of sensors and their underlying calculative models. We propose a …

Artificial intelligence systems connected to sensor-laden devices are becoming pervasive,
which has significant implications for a range of AI risks, including to privacy, the
environment, autonomy, and more. There is therefore a growing need for increased
accountability around the responsible development and deployment of these technologies.
In this paper, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of sensors, the risks they
pose by virtue of their material existence in the world, and the impacts of ubiquitous sensing …
