Artificial intelligence algorithms need large amounts of data. The techniques used to obtain this data have actually raised concerns about privacy, security and copyright.

AI-powered gadgets and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT items, constantly gather individual details, raising concerns about intrusive data gathering and unapproved gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of privacy is more worsened by AI's capability to procedure and integrate large amounts of data, potentially causing a monitoring society where individual activities are continuously kept track of and analyzed without sufficient safeguards or openness.

Sensitive user data gathered may consist of online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to construct speech recognition algorithms, Amazon has tape-recorded millions of personal discussions and enabled temporary employees to listen to and transcribe a few of them. [205] Opinions about this widespread surveillance 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 personal privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only way to deliver valuable applications and have established several techniques that try to maintain personal 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 actually started to see personal privacy in regards to fairness. Brian Christian composed that professionals have rotated "from the question of 'what they understand' to the concern of 'what they're making with it'." [208]
