Artificial intelligence algorithms require large amounts of information. The strategies utilized to obtain this information have raised issues about personal privacy, surveillance and copyright.

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT products, constantly collect personal details, raising concerns about invasive data event and unapproved gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of privacy is more exacerbated by AI's capability to procedure and combine huge amounts of data, possibly leading to a surveillance society where individual activities are continuously kept track of and analyzed without appropriate safeguards or openness.

Sensitive user data gathered might include online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to construct speech acknowledgment algorithms, Amazon has taped millions of private discussions and permitted temporary workers to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this extensive security variety from those who see it as a necessary evil to those for whom it is plainly dishonest and an offense of the right to privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only method to deliver important applications and have actually established several methods that try to maintain privacy while still obtaining the data, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential personal privacy. [207] Since 2016, some privacy professionals, such as Cynthia Dwork, have begun to view privacy in terms of fairness. Brian Christian composed that professionals have rotated "from the concern of 'what they understand' to the concern of 'what they're doing with it'." [208]
Generative AI is typically trained on unlicensed copyrighted works, including in domains such as images or computer system code
