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

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT products, continually gather personal details, raising concerns about invasive information event and unauthorized gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of personal privacy is more exacerbated by AI's ability to procedure and combine huge quantities of information, possibly resulting in a security society where private activities are continuously kept an eye on and evaluated without sufficient safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user information collected may consist of online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For instance, in order to build speech recognition algorithms, Amazon has actually tape-recorded countless personal discussions and enabled short-lived workers to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this prevalent security range 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 way to provide valuable applications and have actually established several techniques that try to maintain 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 actually started to view privacy in terms of fairness. Brian Christian wrote that specialists have actually rotated "from the concern of 'what they know' to the question of 'what they're making with it'." [208]
