As artificial intelligence continues to evolve and integrate into nearly every aspect of our digital lives—social media, healthcare, banking, and even education—the question of data privacy and security has never been more critical. AI systems rely heavily on large volumes of personal data to learn, predict, and automate decisions. While this improves efficiency and convenience, it also introduces serious risks: data breaches, surveillance, profiling, identity theft, and even manipulation through biased algorithms.
With the increasing sophistication of AI models, even anonymized data can sometimes be re-identified, making privacy harder to guarantee.
