Abstract
Computing systems are now silently taking part in many of our daily life activities. Intelligent Environments refer to systems which are designed to support humans in daily life. Like any technology these one can fail too. This paper examines potential negative consequences of such systems if they are too naively developed and used and encourages developers in this area to take safety issues into consideration.
