Artificial intelligence data privacy issues on the rise

In particular, thorny artificial intelligence data privacy issues can arise if employers can detect and view more -- and more personal -- data about their employees on devices or apps. One way for IT to address data privacy issues with machine learning is to "mask" the data collected, or anonymize it so that observers can't learn specific information about a specific user. And the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act limits creditors and other financial institutions from sharing identifying information about a person's transactions or debts. Still, the data privacy issues raised by artificial intelligence are not entirely new.
