Artificial intelligence algorithms need large amounts of data. The techniques utilized to obtain this data have raised issues about privacy, surveillance and copyright.

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT items, constantly collect individual details, raising concerns about invasive data event and unapproved gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of privacy is additional intensified by AI's capability to process and combine huge amounts of information, potentially causing a surveillance society where private activities are continuously monitored and analyzed 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 develop speech acknowledgment algorithms, Amazon has actually taped millions of personal discussions and enabled short-term workers to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this widespread monitoring range from those who see it as a needed 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 valuable applications and have established numerous strategies that try to maintain personal privacy while still obtaining the information, such as data aggregation, de-identification and differential personal privacy. [207] Since 2016, some personal privacy professionals, such as Cynthia Dwork, have actually begun to view personal privacy in regards to fairness. Brian Christian wrote that professionals have rotated "from the concern of 'what they understand' to the concern of 'what they're finishing with it'." [208]
