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

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT items, constantly gather personal details, raising issues about invasive information gathering and unapproved gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of privacy is more exacerbated by AI's ability to process and combine huge amounts of data, possibly causing a surveillance society where private activities are continuously kept an eye on and analyzed without sufficient safeguards or openness.

Sensitive user data collected may include online activity records, geolocation data, video, or audio. [204] For instance, in order to construct speech recognition algorithms, Amazon has actually taped millions of personal conversations and allowed momentary workers to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this extensive monitoring variety from those who see it as a needed evil to those for whom it is plainly dishonest and an infraction of the right to privacy. [206]
AI designers argue that this is the only method to provide valuable applications and have actually established numerous methods that try to maintain privacy while still obtaining the data, such as data aggregation, de-identification and differential privacy. [207] Since 2016, some privacy specialists, such as Cynthia Dwork, have begun to view privacy in regards to fairness. Brian Christian composed that experts have actually rotated "from the question of 'what they know' to the concern of 'what they're finishing with it'." [208]
Generative AI is frequently trained on unlicensed copyrighted works, including in domains such as images or computer system code
