In the AI ​​era, will privacy rights be weakened and forgotten?

Recently, the cover song of "AI Stefanie Sun" has become popular. Stefanie Sun herself responded: Human beings cannot surpass AI, being yourself is enough.

The emergence of ChatGPT has aroused public concerns about the security of personal information: download an app on your mobile phone and spend three seconds to check all permissions, including voice, facial recognition, address book, photo album, location... .. Our voice, whereabouts, preferences and other privacy are instantly sucked into the ocean current of big data. Has the development of artificial intelligence caused us to lose our right to privacy? Where is the red line for AI to generate faces and voices? What rights do we have regarding personal information in a digital society? The Paper invites Xu Wei, a distinguished professor of Sheshan Scholarship at Shanghai University of Political Science and Law, to talk about personal privacy issues in the AI ​​era.

@Announcer on the basketball court: Will AI definitely involve personal privacy?

Xu Wei: If AI wants to achieve the effect of “understanding you” and “easy to use”, it must collect and utilize users’ personal information, which will involve privacy and personal information protection.

@Yesterday’s World: Why are all apps now trying to obtain personal information? Is personal information becoming more and more valuable?

Xu Wei: Your observation is very accurate. With the improvement of algorithms and computing power, the value of personal information is getting higher and higher, because the processing of personal information can achieve more and more functions. Function and purpose.

@Puzz Kang: After downloading some game software, there will be a pop-up window asking for permission to obtain "health" data. If you don't check it, you can't play. Is this legal?

Xu Wei: Article 6 of the "Personal Information Protection Law" stipulates: The processing of personal information should have a clear and reasonable purpose, and should be directly related to the purpose of processing, and adopt a method that has the least impact on personal rights and interests. . The collection of personal information should be limited to the minimum scope to achieve the purpose of processing, and excessive collection of personal information should not be allowed.

Therefore, health data is not necessary personal information for game software, and game companies cannot obtain health data as a prerequisite for using games.

@Elizabeth’s Duck: What if my voice and face are used for AI synthesis? Will this be a legal thing in the future?

Xu Wei:A person’s voice and face are important information that characterizes a person, and the law always aims to protect people’s freedom and dignity. Therefore, the unauthorized use of your voice and face is not legal unless you expressly consent to it. If someone else's voice or face is used without permission, individuals can claim it through portrait rights, personal information rights, etc.

How to develop AI reasonably

@Praise for nothingness: In the future where AI takes off, will the right to privacy, which has attracted much attention, gradually be weakened and forgotten?

Xu Wei:In the AI ​​era, privacy will only become more important, rather than being weakened and forgotten. Because without the protection of privacy, human freedom and dignity will no longer exist in the AI ​​era. Such AI development should not be the future pursued by mankind. We should always keep in mind that people themselves are the end, and AI is just a means.

@sholincong: In response to the development of AI, how can banking communications and other industries strengthen management and control through information technology? If such business risks occur, how should the victims be protected and appealed, and how should the saboteurs be defined and punished?

Xu Wei:The impact of AI development is all-round. Not only the banking communications industry, but also other industries must strengthen data compliance. If an enterprise infringes upon the personal information and other rights of natural persons, in addition to the complaint channels provided by the enterprise itself, my country's civil, administrative and criminal fields provide relief to the victims. For example, in civil matters, victims can file infringement lawsuits, in administrative fields, they can complain to the Cyberspace Administration of China, and in criminal matters, it may constitute the crime of infringing on citizens' personal information.

@Oolong: Why did Italy announce the ban on ChatGPT so recently? Europe seems conservative in the development of artificial intelligence. Is it because of privacy rights?

Xu Wei:Italy’s ban on ChatGPT is mainly based on concerns about user privacy and improper handling of personal information. It is not that Europe does not want to develop artificial intelligence. Privacy is only one of the factors affecting the development of artificial intelligence. From an industrial and technological perspective, the development of artificial intelligence requires support from many aspects such as data, algorithms, and computing power. Europe’s efforts in these aspects There is a lack of accumulation, and it is not easy to make efforts in the field of artificial intelligence.

@小TUTU: With AI technology, is it possible to create a digital ID card?

Xu Wei:Digital ID cards mainly involve technologies such as identity binding and verification. Strictly speaking, this is related to AI technology but not necessarily related. The application of digital ID cards depends on the reform of my country's administrative services and the establishment of the electronic certificate service mechanism for my country's resident ID cards.
