Artificial intelligence algorithms require big quantities of data. The techniques used to obtain this data have raised concerns about personal privacy, security and copyright.

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT items, constantly gather individual details, raising concerns about invasive data event and unapproved gain access to by third parties. The loss of personal privacy is more worsened by AI's ability to procedure and combine vast amounts of information, possibly leading to a surveillance society where private activities are continuously kept an eye on and evaluated without sufficient safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user information collected might include online activity records, geolocation data, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to develop speech recognition algorithms, Amazon has actually tape-recorded millions of personal conversations and enabled short-term workers to listen to and transcribe a few of them. [205] Opinions about this extensive security variety from those who see it as an essential evil to those for whom it is plainly dishonest and an offense of the right to personal privacy. [206]
AI designers argue that this is the only method to deliver valuable applications and have actually developed several techniques that try to maintain privacy while still obtaining the data, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential personal privacy. [207] Since 2016, some privacy experts, such as Cynthia Dwork, have started to view personal privacy in regards to fairness. Brian Christian wrote that professionals have actually pivoted "from the concern of 'what they know' to the concern of 'what they're finishing with it'." [208]
