The Three Laws of IoT

A device should not be connected to the internet unless this enables functions and features that benefit the user.

Functions and features that do not require internet connection should always work without internet connection.

Data should not leave the user's device unless this enables functions and features that benefit the user.

Why

IoT is at a tipping point. The technology is becoming more accessible and more devices are being connected to the internet. However, as more devices are connected, we are seeing that many companies struggle to leverage the technology to make products that are actually valuable for users. In fact, today most connected consumer devices make the user experience worse. Therefore it's important to ensure that these devices are safe, secure, and protect user's data. This is why the Three Laws of IoT are necessary. They provide a framework for designing and using IoT devices in a way that is safe, secure, and beneficial for the users. By following these laws, companies can ensure that user's data is protected, that the device is secure, and that the internet connection is only used when it brings a benefit to the user.
