Artificial intelligence algorithms need large quantities of data. The techniques utilized to obtain this information have raised concerns about personal privacy, surveillance and copyright.

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT products, continuously gather individual details, raising concerns about invasive data gathering and unauthorized gain access to by third celebrations. The loss of personal privacy is further worsened by AI's ability to process and combine large amounts of data, potentially resulting in a security society where private activities are constantly monitored and evaluated without appropriate safeguards or openness.

Sensitive user information collected might consist of online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to develop speech recognition algorithms, Amazon has tape-recorded countless personal discussions and permitted short-term employees to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this extensive surveillance range from those who see it as a required evil to those for whom it is plainly dishonest and an infraction of the right to personal privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only way to deliver important applications and have actually developed numerous 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 terms of fairness. Brian Christian composed that specialists have rotated "from the concern of 'what they understand' to the concern of 'what they're making with it'." [208]
