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

AI-powered gadgets and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT products, constantly gather personal details, raising concerns about invasive data gathering and unauthorized gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of privacy is further intensified by AI's ability to procedure and integrate huge quantities of information, possibly causing a monitoring society where individual activities are continuously monitored and analyzed without sufficient safeguards or openness.

Sensitive user data gathered may include online activity records, geolocation data, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to develop speech acknowledgment algorithms, Amazon has taped countless personal discussions and enabled temporary workers to listen to and transcribe a few of them. [205] Opinions about this extensive security range from those who see it as a needed evil to those for whom it is plainly unethical and an infraction of the right to personal privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only method to provide valuable applications and have established a number of techniques that try to maintain privacy while still obtaining the information, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential privacy. [207] Since 2016, some personal privacy experts, such as Cynthia Dwork, have actually begun to see privacy in terms of fairness. Brian Christian composed that specialists have actually rotated "from the concern of 'what they understand' to the question 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
