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

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT items, continuously gather personal details, raising concerns about invasive data gathering and unapproved gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of privacy is more worsened by AI's capability to procedure and combine vast amounts of data, potentially leading to a surveillance society where private activities are continuously kept track of and examined without sufficient safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user data collected may include online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For instance, in order to develop speech acknowledgment algorithms, Amazon has tape-recorded countless personal discussions and allowed momentary employees to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this widespread security range from those who see it as a necessary evil to those for whom it is plainly dishonest and a violation of the right to privacy. [206]
AI designers argue that this is the only method to deliver important applications and have actually developed several methods that attempt to privacy while still obtaining the information, such as data aggregation, de-identification and differential privacy. [207] Since 2016, some privacy experts, such as Cynthia Dwork, have started to see privacy in regards to fairness. Brian Christian wrote that professionals have pivoted "from the concern of 'what they know' to the concern of 'what they're doing with it'." [208]
