Artificial intelligence algorithms require big amounts of information. The techniques used to obtain this data have raised issues about privacy, security and copyright.

AI-powered gadgets and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT items, continuously gather personal details, raising issues about intrusive information event and unapproved gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of privacy is further exacerbated by AI's ability to procedure and combine huge amounts of information, potentially leading to a surveillance society where private activities are continuously kept track of and evaluated without sufficient safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user data collected may consist of online activity records, geolocation data, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to develop speech recognition algorithms, Amazon has tape-recorded millions of private conversations and enabled short-term 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 of the right to personal privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only way to deliver important applications and have developed numerous techniques that try to maintain privacy while still obtaining the data, such as data aggregation, de-identification and differential personal privacy. [207] Since 2016, some privacy professionals, such as Cynthia Dwork, have started to see privacy in terms of fairness. Brian Christian composed that specialists have actually pivoted "from the concern of 'what they understand' to the question of 'what they're doing with it'." [208]
