Artificial intelligence algorithms require big quantities of information. The methods utilized to obtain this information have raised concerns about personal privacy, surveillance and copyright.

AI-powered gadgets and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT items, continuously collect individual details, raising concerns about invasive information gathering and unauthorized gain access to by third celebrations. The loss of personal privacy is additional worsened by AI's ability to process and combine large amounts of data, possibly resulting in a surveillance society where specific activities are continuously kept an eye on and examined without adequate safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user information collected may consist of online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to construct speech acknowledgment algorithms, Amazon has actually tape-recorded countless personal discussions and enabled temporary workers to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this widespread 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 privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only method to deliver important applications and have established numerous methods that attempt to maintain personal privacy while still obtaining the information, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential personal privacy. [207] Since 2016, some privacy specialists, such as Cynthia Dwork, have started to see personal privacy in regards to fairness. Brian Christian composed that specialists have rotated "from the concern of 'what they know' to the concern of 'what they're doing with it'." [208]
