Artificial intelligence algorithms need large quantities of information. The strategies used to obtain this information have raised concerns about privacy, surveillance and copyright.

AI-powered gadgets and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT items, constantly gather personal details, raising concerns about invasive information gathering and unauthorized gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of privacy is further exacerbated by AI's ability to procedure and combine large amounts of information, possibly resulting in a security society where individual activities are constantly kept an eye on and examined without adequate safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user data gathered may consist of online activity records, geolocation data, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to develop speech acknowledgment algorithms, Amazon has actually recorded countless personal conversations and permitted temporary employees to listen to and transcribe a few of them. [205] Opinions about this extensive monitoring 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 designers argue that this is the only way to provide important applications and have developed several strategies 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 professionals, such as Cynthia Dwork, have begun to view privacy in regards to fairness. Brian Christian composed that professionals have actually rotated "from the concern of 'what they know' to the concern of 'what they're finishing with it'." [208]
