Artificial intelligence algorithms require large amounts of data. The methods used to obtain this data have actually raised issues about privacy, surveillance and copyright.

AI-powered gadgets and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT products, continually gather individual details, raising concerns about intrusive data gathering and unauthorized gain access to by 3rd celebrations. The loss of personal privacy is additional worsened by AI's ability to process and integrate large amounts of information, possibly causing a security society where individual activities are continuously monitored and analyzed without or openness.

Sensitive user information gathered might include online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For instance, in order to build speech acknowledgment algorithms, Amazon has tape-recorded countless private discussions and enabled temporary employees to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this extensive security 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 privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only method to provide important applications and have actually developed a number of techniques that try to maintain privacy while still obtaining the information, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential personal privacy. [207] Since 2016, some personal privacy experts, such as Cynthia Dwork, have actually started to see privacy in terms of fairness. Brian Christian composed that experts have actually pivoted "from the concern of 'what they understand' to the question of 'what they're finishing with it'." [208]
