- Environments with built-in intelligence have the ability to provide context sensitive services and information to people in their homes and at work. When previous research considers ethics in design it is often disconnected from its application. This paper is significant because a holistic approach is applied to the development of intelligent environments combining the two strands of ethics and design. The validity of the developed ethical framework has been applied into an actual project to demonstrate its benefits by incorporating both social and ethical implications of technology in assistive technologies for young adults with Downs Syndrome.
