Artificial Intelligence (AI) Can Endanger Data Privacy in a Variety of Ways

Image
  Among the major dangers are: 1)  Breach of data: AI systems frequently rely on massive datasets to perform properly. If these databases are not adequately safeguarded, they may be exposed to data breaches, possibly exposing sensitive information about persons, businesses, or organizations. 2)   Data profiling and inference: AI algorithms may examine data patterns to draw conclusions and make predictions about individuals. This could result in unwanted profiling and discrimination, as well as the disclosure of personal information that individuals may not want to be revealed. 3)Inconsistency: Some AI models, particularly deep learning models, can be extremely complex and difficult to interpret. Because of this lack of transparency, it can be difficult to comprehend how the AI system arrived at a given choice, potentially leading to a lack of responsibility and challenges in addressing privacy concerns. 4)Cross-referencing and data aggregation: AI can develop extensive pr...

THE RISK OF PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA – PART 2

1.       Generally there are four types of manufactured risks in the context of processing of personal data protection . 2.       Firstly, the risk from the commoditisation of personal data. 3.         The computerised telecommunications and the perceived value of private data result in the commoditisation of personal data, by transforming private information to a commodity easily shared, traded, sold and presumably valued (Bagby & McCarty, 2003) . 4.       Accordingly, personal data is now invaluable for commercial entities (Dam, 2005) . 5.       Secondly, the risk of the invasion of individual information privacy. 6.       The development of database systems capable of storing, searching and manipulating large volumes of data raised concerns over how these new technologies would be used (Boni & Prigmore, 2004) . 7. ...

THE RISK OF PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA – PART 1

1.       The key changes in the information society is the breakthroughs in information processing, storage and transmission which have led to the application of information technologies in virtually all corners of society and the convergence and imbrications of telecommunications and computing (Webster 2006). 2.       Indeed the information society has changed radically with the integrated network structure, which has transformed the communications networks into seamless global webs of digital information exchange, and the resultant globalisation of financial markets and consequent interdependence of capital flows between liberal market economies (Marsden 2001). 3.       At this juncture, Walker, Wall and Akdeniz (2000) argue that the ICTs conduces towards networked and horizontal relationships and global in its nature. 4.       In the Malaysia context, the ICTs is perceives as the...
