Privacy and Surveillance in the Age of AI explores how AI technologies collect, analyze, and use vast amounts of personal data, often at the expense of individual privacy. Key concerns include mass data collection, facial recognition, predictive analytics, and the risks of re-identification of anonymous data. AI-powered tools are widely used in public surveillance, targeted advertising, and workplace monitoring, exacerbating ethical issues such as bias, discrimination, and lack of transparency. Legal frameworks such as GDPR and CCPA offer some protections, but rapid technological advances often outpace regulations. Strong policies, ethical AI design, and public oversight are needed to strike a balance between reaping the benefits of AI and protecting privacy.
