AI is increasingly being embedded in our lives, but these developments have led to

concerns about whether and how AI systems adhere, and will adhere to ethical standards. These
concerns have stimulated a global conversation on AI ethics, and have resulted in various actors
from different countries and sectors issuing ethics and governance initiatives and guidelines for
AI.
 Lack of transparency of AI tools: AI decisions are not always intelligible to humans.
 AI is not neutral: AI-based decisions are susceptible to inaccuracies, discriminatory
outcomes, embedded or inserted bias.
 Surveillance practices for data gathering and privacy of court users.
 New concerns for fairness and risk for Human Rights and other fundamental values.
 Disappearance of jobs

Privacy is at risk when companies are not transparent about how data is collected and
stored, such as facial recognition. A study by MIT and Microsoft found that three
commercial systems designed to identify gender through facial recognition had much higher
error rates for darker-skinned women than for lighter-skinned men. The researchers
concluded that the data sets used to "train" the systems were heavily weighted towards
lighter-skinned examples, so the software had far less opportunity to learn to recognise
differences among darker-skinned faces. An AI system used by a hiring company to screen
job applications, if the system is biased against women or people of colour, it may use data
about a candidate's gender or race to unfairly exclude them from consideration. This harms
the individual applicant and perpetuates systemic inequalities in the workforce

AI based on machine learning poses several risks to data protection, such as access to
large data sets and its ability to detect patterns. AI also has the potential to create new data
protection risks not envisaged by legislation and create new ethical concerns. AI systems
may be subject to new types of security vulnerabilities, such as model poisoning attacks, and
may be used for new types of vulnerability detection and exploitation. As AI systems are
becoming more advanced, leading to job displacement, economic disruption, and the need for
individuals to retrain for new roles. However, the issue of job loss is also connected to
privacy in a number of important ways. For example, the economic disruption caused by AI
technology can lead to increased financial insecurity for workers, leading to individuals
being forced to sacrifice their privacy to make ends meet. Additionally, AI technology is
used in the hiring process, raising concerns about the accuracy of the data being used and
questions about privacy.
