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

AI-powered gadgets and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT items, continuously collect personal details, raising issues about intrusive data gathering and unauthorized gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of personal privacy is additional exacerbated by AI's capability to procedure and combine large quantities of information, potentially causing a security society where individual activities are constantly monitored and evaluated without adequate safeguards or transparency.

[205] Opinions about this extensive surveillance variety from those who see it as a needed evil to those for whom it is plainly dishonest and an offense of the right to personal privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only method to deliver valuable applications and have actually established a number of strategies that attempt to maintain personal privacy while still obtaining the information, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential privacy. [207] Since 2016, some privacy professionals, such as Cynthia Dwork, have started to view personal privacy in terms of fairness. Brian Christian wrote that specialists have actually rotated "from the concern of 'what they understand' to the concern of 'what they're making with it'." [208]
