Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is the application and embedding of artificial intelligence into everyday environments to seamlessly provide assistive and predictive support in a multitude of scenarios via an invisible user interface. These can be as diverse as autonomous vehicles, smart homes, industrial settings, and healthcare facilities—referred to as Ambient Assistive Living. This survey gives an overview of the field; defines key terms; discusses social, cultural, and ethical issues; and outlines the state of the art in AmI technology, and where opportunities for further research exist. We guide the reader through AmI from its inception more than 20 years ago, focussing on the important topics and research achievements of the past 10 years since the last major survey, before finally detailing the most recents research trends and forecasting where this technology is likely to develop. This survey covers domains, use cases, scenarios, and datasets; cultural concerns and usability issues; security, privacy, and ethics; interaction and recognition; prediction and intelligence; and hardware, infrastructure, and mobile devices. This survey serves as an introduction for researchers and the technical layperson into the topic of AmI and identifies notable opportunities for further research.

环境智能调查

环境智能 (AmI) 是人工智能在日常环境中的应用和嵌入，可通过不可见的用户界面在多种场景中无缝提供辅助和预测支持。这些可以像自动驾驶汽车、智能家居、工业环境和医疗设施一样多样化——被称为环境辅助生活。该调查概述了该领域；定义关键术语；讨论社会、文化和伦理问题；并概述了 AmI 技术的最新进展，以及存在进一步研究的机会。我们从 20 多年前的 AmI 开始引导读者，重点关注自上次重大调查以来过去 10 年的重要课题和研究成果，在最后详细介绍最新的研究趋势并预测该技术可能发展的方向之前。该调查涵盖领域、用例、场景和数据集；文化问题和可用性问题；安全、隐私和道德；互动和认可；预测和智能；以及硬件、基础设施和移动设备。该调查作为研究人员和技术外行对 AmI 主题的介绍，并确定了进一步研究的显着机会。
