Artificial intelligence algorithms need large quantities of information. The methods used to obtain this data have raised issues about personal privacy, surveillance and copyright.

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT products, continuously collect personal details, raising concerns about invasive information gathering and unapproved gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of privacy is additional intensified by AI's capability to procedure and integrate large amounts of data, potentially causing a surveillance society where specific activities are continuously monitored and examined without adequate safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user data gathered may consist of online activity records, geolocation data, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to build speech acknowledgment algorithms, Amazon has tape-recorded millions of personal discussions and permitted short-lived workers to listen to and transcribe a few of them. [205] Opinions about this widespread monitoring range from those who see it as a necessary evil to those for whom it is plainly unethical and a violation of the right to personal privacy. [206]
AI designers argue that this is the only method to provide important applications and have established several methods that try to maintain privacy while still obtaining the information, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential privacy. [207] Since 2016, some personal privacy professionals, such as Cynthia Dwork, have started to view privacy in regards to fairness. Brian Christian composed that professionals have actually pivoted "from the question of 'what they understand' to the question of 'what they're making with it'." [208]
