Artificial intelligence algorithms require large quantities of information. The techniques utilized to obtain this data have raised concerns about privacy, surveillance and copyright.

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT products, continuously gather personal details, raising concerns about invasive information event and unauthorized gain access to by third parties. The loss of privacy is additional worsened by AI's capability to procedure and integrate huge amounts of information, possibly leading to a monitoring society where individual activities are constantly kept track of and evaluated without appropriate safeguards or openness.

Sensitive user information gathered might consist of online activity records, geolocation data, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to construct speech acknowledgment algorithms, Amazon has taped countless personal discussions and permitted momentary employees to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this prevalent surveillance variety from those who see it as a necessary evil to those for whom it is plainly unethical and an offense of the right to personal privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only method to provide valuable applications and have actually established a number of techniques 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 personal privacy specialists, such as Cynthia Dwork, have started to view personal privacy in terms of fairness. Brian Christian composed that experts have actually rotated "from the concern of 'what they understand' to the question of 'what they're doing with it'." [208]
