A new research paper proposes a sociotechnical threat model for AI-driven smart home devices, focusing on the privacy risks faced by domestic workers in the UK. The study, based on interviews with 18 domestic workers, highlights how AI analytics, residual data logs, and cross-household data flows create unique privacy challenges. The model identifies domestic workers themselves as potential adversaries and maps AI-driven privacy risks across interconnected households, suggesting implications for strengthening worker privacy and agency.
