Artificial intelligence algorithms require large quantities of information. The methods used to obtain this information have raised concerns about privacy, security and copyright.

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT items, continually collect individual details, raising concerns about invasive information gathering and unauthorized gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of personal privacy is more worsened by AI's ability to procedure and integrate vast amounts of data, possibly leading to a monitoring society where private activities are constantly kept an eye on and evaluated without adequate safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user data gathered may consist of online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to construct speech recognition algorithms, Amazon has recorded millions of personal discussions and allowed short-lived workers to listen to and transcribe a few 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 an infraction of the right to personal privacy. [206]
AI designers argue that this is the only way to deliver valuable applications and have developed numerous techniques 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 experts, such as Cynthia Dwork, have actually begun to see personal privacy in terms of fairness. Brian Christian wrote that experts have pivoted "from the concern of 'what they know' to the concern of 'what they're finishing with it'." [208]
