【Abstract】The rise of artificial intelligence and smart devices with decision-making capabilities has highlighted the critical need for governance in the field of IoT. Effective governance can ensure accountability, reliability, security, and privacy in the development and use of these technologies, as well as safeguard against unethical or malicious activities. Moreover, it can drive innovation and growth in the IoT and AI industries, while fostering public trust in these technologies. The objective of this paper is to propose a new governance framework for IoT, called IoTGov. To achieve this objective, the paper first defines the requirements for IoT governance and assesses the compatibility of existing IT and IoT governance frameworks with these requirements. The limitations of current frameworks prove the need for a new framework, and IoT-Gov is presented as a solution. The paper explains the layers and processes of the proposed framework and provides a high-level simulation of its deployment. Specifically, the paper illustrates how the proposed framework can be applied in an example scenario of access control in a smart hospital parking, enabled with Blockchain technology. Finally, the paper concludes with an exploration of potential challenges and future research directions for the framework.
