Artificial intelligence algorithms need big amounts of data. The methods used to obtain this information have actually raised concerns about personal privacy, surveillance and copyright.

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT items, continuously collect personal details, raising concerns about intrusive information gathering and unauthorized gain access to by third parties. The loss of personal privacy is further intensified by AI's ability to process and integrate huge amounts of information, potentially resulting in a surveillance society where private activities are continuously kept track of and analyzed without sufficient safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user information collected might consist of online activity records, geolocation data, video, or audio. [204] For instance, in order to construct speech acknowledgment algorithms, Amazon has actually tape-recorded countless private discussions and permitted temporary employees to listen to and transcribe a few of them. [205] Opinions about this prevalent monitoring variety from those who see it as a necessary evil to those for whom it is plainly dishonest and a violation of the right to personal privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only method to provide important applications and have actually developed numerous techniques that attempt to maintain privacy while still obtaining the data, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential privacy. [207] Since 2016, some privacy experts, such as Cynthia Dwork, have started to view personal privacy in terms of fairness. Brian Christian composed that experts have actually pivoted "from the concern of 'what they know' to the question of 'what they're doing with it'." [208]
