With the increasing use of sensor technology for different societal goals, like security and safety, the demand for multiple and flexible functionality of the sensors is rising. The expectation is that the development of reconfigurable sensors will lead to a continuous and affordable infrastructure. In this note, we undertake a first exploration of the ethical challenges reconfigurability raises for sensor networks, and more generally, for sociotechnical systems.
