AI and Privacy: The Price of a Smarter World
As the wave of intelligence and digitalization sweeps the globe, artificial intelligence (AI) is ubiquitous: from smartphones to back-end systems in business operations, from self-driving cars to precision medicine, AI is profoundly changing our lifestyles. However, while this technological revolution brings convenience, it also poses unprecedented challenges to privacy protection. So, in this era of both opportunity and risk, can we still protect our privacy?
Artificial intelligence (AI), based on big data and relying on massive amounts of personal, image, text, and sensor data, leverages powerful data analysis capabilities to serve as a crucial tool for promoting high-quality economic and social development. While significantly enhancing the ability to acquire, mine, and share information, AI also increases the risks of data misuse and privacy breaches.
