Artificial intelligence algorithms require large amounts of data. The methods 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, constantly gather personal details, raising issues about invasive data event and unapproved gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of privacy is further worsened by AI's ability to procedure and combine vast quantities of information, possibly leading to a surveillance society where individual activities are continuously kept track of and examined without sufficient safeguards or openness.

Sensitive user data gathered may include online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For instance, in order to build speech acknowledgment algorithms, Amazon has taped countless private discussions and enabled short-lived employees to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this extensive security variety from those who see it as an essential evil to those for whom it is plainly dishonest and an infraction of the right to privacy. [206]
AI designers argue that this is the only method to provide valuable applications and have actually developed several strategies that try to maintain personal privacy while still obtaining the data, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential personal privacy. [207] Since 2016, some personal privacy specialists, such as Cynthia Dwork, have begun to see privacy in terms of fairness. Brian Christian wrote that experts have actually rotated "from the concern of 'what they know' to the concern of 'what they're doing with it'." [208]
