Artificial intelligence algorithms require big quantities of data. The techniques used to obtain this data have raised concerns about personal privacy, surveillance and copyright.

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT products, constantly collect individual details, raising concerns about intrusive data event and unauthorized gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of personal privacy is further exacerbated by AI's capability to procedure and integrate huge quantities of information, potentially causing a security society where private activities are constantly monitored and examined without sufficient safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user data collected might consist of online activity records, geolocation data, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to develop speech algorithms, Amazon has actually taped countless personal discussions and allowed short-term employees to listen to and transcribe a few of them. [205] Opinions about this widespread monitoring range from those who see it as a required evil to those for whom it is plainly unethical and an offense of the right to privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only way to provide valuable applications and have established several strategies that try to maintain personal privacy while still obtaining the data, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential personal privacy. [207] Since 2016, some personal privacy professionals, such as Cynthia Dwork, have actually begun to view privacy in terms of fairness. Brian Christian wrote that experts have rotated "from the concern of 'what they know' to the question of 'what they're making with it'." [208]
