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

AI-powered gadgets and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT items, continuously gather individual details, raising concerns about intrusive information gathering and unauthorized gain access to by third celebrations. The loss of personal privacy is more worsened by AI's capability to process and integrate large quantities of information, possibly causing a security society where private activities are constantly monitored and analyzed without sufficient safeguards or openness.

Sensitive user information gathered may consist of online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to develop speech recognition algorithms, Amazon has taped countless private conversations and enabled temporary employees to listen to and transcribe a few 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 unethical and a violation of the right to privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only way to provide valuable applications and have developed several techniques that attempt to maintain personal privacy while still obtaining the information, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential privacy. [207] Since 2016, some privacy specialists, such as Cynthia Dwork, have begun to view personal privacy in terms of fairness. Brian Christian composed that specialists have actually rotated "from the question of 'what they know' to the concern of 'what they're finishing with it'." [208]
