Artificial intelligence algorithms need large amounts of information. The techniques used to obtain this data have actually raised issues about privacy, security and copyright.

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT products, continually gather personal details, raising issues about intrusive data gathering and unapproved gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of privacy is further exacerbated by AI's ability to process and combine huge amounts of data, potentially resulting in a surveillance society where individual activities are constantly monitored and analyzed without sufficient safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user information collected may include online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For instance, in order to construct speech acknowledgment algorithms, Amazon has tape-recorded millions of personal conversations and enabled short-lived workers to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this prevalent security variety from those who see it as an essential evil to those for whom it is plainly dishonest and a violation of the right to privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only way to deliver valuable applications and have actually developed numerous techniques that attempt to maintain personal privacy while still obtaining the data, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential privacy. [207] Since 2016, some personal privacy professionals, such as Cynthia Dwork, have actually begun to view personal privacy in regards to fairness. Brian Christian wrote that professionals have actually pivoted "from the concern of 'what they know' to the question of 'what they're finishing with it'." [208]
