How is AI Violating Privacy?

As the popularity of AI applications continues to spread globally, the ethical implications of these services remain unclear. Recently, Italy’s privacy watchdog, Garante, imposed a 15 million euro fine on OpenAI for a breach of personal data. The authority argued that the AI service accessed personal data without legal justification and failed to take required transparency measures. The U.S. artificial intelligence program, OpenAI, responded stating that the fine amount was excessive and planned to appeal it.

As cases continue to rise regarding the ethical implications of artificial intelligence, relevant resources are needed to stay up to date on this developing field. Prof. Nuno Mateus-Coelho, with a background in cloud security and secure operating systems, provides valuable insights in his book, Contemporary Challenges for Cyber Security and Data Privacy (ISBN: 9798369315286).

“As the editor of Contemporary Challenges for Cyber Security and Data Privacy, my goal has been to bring together leading voices in the field to address the rapidly evolving landscape of cyber threats. This publication offers a comprehensive examination of the critical issues impacting data privacy today, providing both theoretical and practical perspectives to help guide future research and policy development.”
