| Popis: | The smart home market will approach 40 billion USD (United States dollars) by 2020 and household penetration to reach 47.40% in 2023. Experts say that we will move from turning lights on and off by giving a voice assistant commands to a smart home that collects, analyzes and acts upon information, turning our smart devices into intelligent homes. As homes become more intelligent with the use of artificial intelligence (AI), will the inhabitants understand what that might mean and what makes a device or home smart? Between February and June of 2019, we conducted semi-structured interviews of 40 smart home consumers to understand their perceptions of smart homes. During the interview we asked them what the Internet of Things (IoT) meant, what makes a smart device, what makes a smart home. Overall, participants were unfamiliar with the term IoT. We coded the responses with major codes. Reasons that participants said made devices smart: they were connected to the internet, were programmable, and had some type of learning component (e.g., natural language processing, machine learning, learn over time). Participants said the following made homes smart: have smart devices, connected, made life easier, were programmable and they could control devices in the home. Only a few participants included learning into their descriptions of smart homes. As smart devices and smart homes mature into an intelligent home driven by artificial intelligence, it is critical for consumers to understand the implications of use. |
