Artificial intelligence algorithms require big amounts of information. The methods used to obtain this information have actually raised concerns about personal privacy, surveillance and copyright.

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT items, continuously collect personal details, raising concerns about invasive information event and unauthorized gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of personal privacy is more intensified by AI's ability to process and integrate huge quantities of information, possibly causing a security society where private activities are constantly kept track of and evaluated 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 acknowledgment algorithms, Amazon has recorded millions of private discussions and allowed momentary employees to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this prevalent security range from those who see it as a needed evil to those for whom it is plainly dishonest and a violation of the right to privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only way to provide important applications and have actually developed several strategies that try to maintain privacy while still obtaining the information, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential privacy. [207] Since 2016, some personal privacy specialists, such as Cynthia Dwork, have begun to view privacy in regards to fairness. Brian Christian wrote that specialists have actually pivoted "from the concern of 'what they understand' to the question of 'what they're making with it'." [208]
Generative AI is typically trained on unlicensed copyrighted works, including in domains such as images or computer code
