Artificial intelligence algorithms need large amounts of information. The methods utilized to obtain this information have actually raised concerns about privacy, monitoring and copyright.

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT products, continually gather individual details, raising concerns about intrusive information event and unapproved gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of privacy is more exacerbated by AI's capability to procedure and combine large quantities of data, potentially causing a surveillance society where specific activities are constantly kept track of and evaluated without appropriate safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user information gathered might include online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For instance, in order to develop speech recognition algorithms, Amazon has recorded countless private discussions and permitted short-lived employees to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this extensive security range from those who see it as a required evil to those for whom it is plainly unethical and a violation of the right to privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only way to provide valuable applications and have established a number of methods that attempt to maintain personal privacy while still obtaining the data, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential privacy. [207] Since 2016, some personal privacy professionals, such as Cynthia Dwork, have begun to see privacy in regards to fairness. Brian Christian wrote that professionals have rotated "from the concern of 'what they understand' to the question of 'what they're finishing with it'." [208]
