Artificial intelligence algorithms need big quantities of data. The methods used to obtain this data have raised concerns about privacy, security and copyright.

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT products, continuously gather personal details, raising issues about invasive information gathering and unauthorized gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of privacy is additional worsened by AI's ability to procedure and integrate large amounts of data, potentially resulting in a surveillance society where individual activities are constantly kept an eye on and analyzed without sufficient safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user data collected might include online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to construct speech acknowledgment algorithms, Amazon has actually recorded countless personal discussions and allowed momentary workers to listen to and transcribe a few of them. [205] Opinions about this prevalent surveillance variety from those who see it as a required evil to those for whom it is plainly dishonest and an offense of the right to personal privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only method to provide important applications and have established numerous strategies that try to maintain privacy while still obtaining the data, such as data aggregation, de-identification and differential personal privacy. [207] Since 2016, some personal privacy specialists, such as Cynthia Dwork, have started to view privacy in terms of fairness. Brian Christian wrote that experts have actually rotated "from the question 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 code
