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

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT items, constantly collect individual details, raising concerns about intrusive data event and unauthorized gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of privacy is further exacerbated by AI's capability to process and combine vast amounts of information, potentially resulting in a monitoring society where individual activities are continuously kept an eye on and evaluated without appropriate safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user data collected may consist of online activity records, geolocation information, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to construct speech recognition algorithms, Amazon has recorded countless personal discussions and permitted short-lived employees to listen to and transcribe a few of them. [205] Opinions about this extensive monitoring variety from those who see it as a required evil to those for whom it is plainly dishonest and an infraction of the right to personal privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only method to deliver valuable applications and have developed a number of techniques that attempt to maintain personal privacy while still obtaining the information, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential privacy. [207] Since 2016, some privacy professionals, such as Cynthia Dwork, have actually started to see personal privacy in terms of fairness. Brian Christian composed that professionals have actually rotated "from the question of 'what they understand' to the concern of 'what they're finishing with it'." [208]
