Summary/Abstract: For the past few decades people have faced a dramatic technological development. One of the new technologies that are predicted to be massively widespread in the future is Ambient Intelligence. One can imagine Ambient Intelligence as an environment with embedded sensors enabling the environment to anticipate wishes of its users and to adapt itself accordingly. Development and utilization of such environments, however, entail new threats. The aim of this paper is to identify these threats and the dangers resulting from the need to collect and further process all kinds of data in order to provide highly personalized services.
