Artificial intelligence algorithms need big amounts of data. The strategies utilized to obtain this information have raised issues about personal privacy, monitoring and copyright.

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT products, continuously gather individual details, raising concerns about invasive information event and unauthorized gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of privacy is further exacerbated by AI's ability to process and combine large quantities of information, potentially resulting in a surveillance society where individual activities are continuously kept track of and analyzed without appropriate safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user data gathered might include online activity records, geolocation data, video, or audio. [204] For instance, in order to construct speech recognition algorithms, Amazon has actually tape-recorded millions of private conversations and permitted momentary workers to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this prevalent surveillance 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 method to provide important applications and have actually developed a number of methods that try to maintain personal privacy while still obtaining the information, such as data aggregation, de-identification and differential privacy. [207] Since 2016, some privacy experts, such as Cynthia Dwork, have actually begun to see personal privacy in terms of fairness. Brian Christian wrote that professionals have rotated "from the question of 'what they know' to the question of 'what they're doing with it'." [208]
