Artificial intelligence algorithms require large amounts of data. The strategies utilized to obtain this data have raised concerns about personal privacy, security and copyright.

AI-powered gadgets and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT products, continuously gather individual details, raising issues about intrusive data gathering and unauthorized gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of personal privacy is additional worsened by AI's ability to process and integrate vast amounts of data, potentially leading to a security society where specific activities are constantly monitored and examined without sufficient safeguards or openness.

Sensitive user information gathered may include online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For instance, in order to construct speech acknowledgment algorithms, Amazon has recorded countless personal conversations and permitted momentary workers to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this prevalent surveillance variety from those who see it as an essential evil to those for whom it is plainly dishonest and a violation of the right to personal privacy. [206]
AI designers argue that this is the only method to deliver valuable applications and have developed numerous methods that attempt to maintain personal privacy while still obtaining the information, such as data aggregation, de-identification and differential personal privacy. [207] Since 2016, some personal privacy specialists, such as Cynthia Dwork, have actually begun to see personal privacy in terms of fairness. Brian Christian wrote that specialists have pivoted "from the question of 'what they know' to the question of 'what they're doing with it'." [208]
