The rapid development of emerging technologies has elevated human activity recognition (HAR) into a field with unprecedented capabilities for monitoring and understanding human behaviors across diverse contexts. Powered by machine learning algorithms and extensive datasets from wearables, smartphones, and smart environments, HAR systems now achieve high accuracy in recognizing and predicting activities. Beyond technical progress, however, the integration of HAR into everyday life raises critical sociocultural, ethical, and privacy concerns. While HAR supports healthcare interventions, elderly care, safety monitoring, and quality-of-life improvements, it also introduces risks of data misuse, algorithmic discrimination, and pervasive surveillance. These challenges highlight the need for transparent, fair, and accountable implementation strategies. Our review highlights three main findings: 1) HAR technologies demonstrate strong potential in domains such as healthcare, safety, and smart environments; 2) ethical risks—particularly privacy, surveillance, and fairness—remain pressing concerns; and 3) responsible deployment requires updated regulatory frameworks and collaboration among researchers, policymakers, and practitioners. This article presents a holistic perspective that bridges technical innovations with societal, ethical, and policy dimensions. Unlike prior HAR surveys focused mainly on algorithms or applications, our work emphasizes the dual role of HAR, as both a technological innovation and a societal challenge, offering a multidimensional guide for future development.
