Artificial intelligence algorithms require big quantities of information. The strategies utilized to obtain this data have actually raised issues about personal privacy, surveillance and copyright.

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT products, continually collect individual details, raising concerns about intrusive information event and unapproved gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of personal privacy is more intensified by AI's ability to process and integrate huge amounts of data, potentially causing a security society where specific activities are continuously kept track of and evaluated without sufficient safeguards or openness.

Sensitive user information gathered might consist of online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to build speech recognition algorithms, Amazon has recorded millions of personal discussions and enabled momentary employees to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this prevalent surveillance range from those who see it as a needed evil to those for whom it is plainly dishonest and an infraction of the right to personal privacy. [206]
AI designers argue that this is the only way to provide important applications and have actually established numerous methods that try to maintain 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 started to see personal privacy in regards to fairness. Brian Christian composed that professionals have actually pivoted "from the question of 'what they know' to the question of 'what they're finishing with it'." [208]
