Smart homes are getting smarter — but are they getting more ethical?

In this episode of Master Integrator, I’m joined by Dr Stephen Hart, founder of Roboethics Australia, to explore the emerging field of roboethics and what it means for integrators, designers, and homeowners.

We unpack the ethical challenges of AI, automation, and IoT in residential spaces, including bias in algorithms, privacy concerns, and the question of consent in always-on environments.

Stephen shares practical steps integrators can take to design and install systems that not only work well, but also respect the rights and wellbeing of the people using them.

Whether you’re specifying a simple lighting system or a fully autonomous home, this conversation will make you think differently about the technology you choose — and the impact it has.

What We Cover in This Episode:

  • What “roboethics” means and why it matters in residential tech
  • The blurred lines between automation, AI, and robotics in the home
  • Ethical challenges in IoT, from surveillance to predictive systems
  • How bias can creep into home automation algorithms
  • The importance of informed consent and user control
  • Practical tips for integrators to build ethical considerations into their projects
  • Future trends and why roboethics could become part of regulation
