Artificial intelligence algorithms need large amounts of data. The methods used to obtain this information have raised concerns about personal privacy, surveillance and copyright.

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT products, continuously gather individual details, raising concerns about intrusive data event and unauthorized gain access to by third parties. The loss of personal privacy is additional worsened by AI's capability to process and combine large amounts of data, possibly causing a monitoring society where individual activities are constantly monitored and analyzed without adequate safeguards or openness.

Sensitive user data collected might include online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to build speech recognition algorithms, Amazon has actually recorded countless private conversations and enabled short-lived employees to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this extensive monitoring variety from those who see it as a required evil to those for whom it is plainly dishonest and a violation of the right to personal privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only way to deliver important applications and have developed a number of methods that attempt to maintain privacy while still obtaining the data, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential personal privacy. [207] Since 2016, some privacy specialists, such as Cynthia Dwork, have actually started to see privacy in terms of fairness. Brian Christian wrote that specialists have actually pivoted "from the concern of 'what they understand' to the concern of 'what they're finishing with it'." [208]
