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

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT items, continually gather personal details, raising concerns about intrusive information gathering and unapproved gain access to by third celebrations. The loss of privacy is more exacerbated by AI's capability to procedure and integrate vast amounts of information, possibly causing a monitoring society where individual activities are constantly kept track of and evaluated without adequate safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user information collected may include online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For instance, in order to construct speech acknowledgment algorithms, Amazon has actually taped millions of personal conversations and permitted temporary workers to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this extensive monitoring range from those who see it as an essential 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 way to deliver important applications and have actually established numerous techniques that try to maintain personal privacy while still obtaining the information, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential personal privacy. [207] Since 2016, some privacy experts, such as Cynthia Dwork, have actually begun to see privacy in regards to fairness. Brian Christian wrote that professionals have pivoted "from the question of 'what they know' to the question of 'what they're doing with it'." [208]
