In this contribution, we investigate the privacy implications of social robots as an emerging mobile technology. Drawing on a scoping literature review and expert interviews, we show how social robots come with privacy implications that go beyond those of established mobile technology. Social robots challenge not only users’ informational privacy but also affect their physical, psychological, and social privacy due to their autonomy and potential for social bonding. These distinctive privacy challenges require study from varied theoretical perspectives, with contextual privacy and human–machine communication emerging as particularly fruitful lenses. Findings also point to an increasing focus on technological privacy solutions, complementing an evolving legal landscape as well as a strengthening of user agency and literacy.

社交机器人的隐私影响：范围审查和专家访谈

在这篇文章中，我们调查了社交机器人作为新兴移动技术的隐私影响。利用范围界定的文献综述和专家访谈，我们展示了社交机器人如何带来超越现有移动技术的隐私影响。社交机器人不仅挑战用户的信息隐私，而且由于其自主性和社交联系的潜力而影响他们的身体、心理和社会隐私。这些独特的隐私挑战需要从不同的理论角度进行研究，上下文隐私和人机通信成为特别富有成效的镜头。调查结果还表明，人们越来越关注技术隐私解决方案，补充不断变化的法律环境以及加强用户代理和识字。
