As part of my new job, I have been tasked with creating an automated surveillance system that uses AI technology. This system will involve tracking user behavior on social media platforms and collecting personal information such as location, contacts, and usage statistics. What legal risks should I be aware of when building such a system?

user
Some of the legal risks associated with building an automated surveillance system using AI technology include trespass, breach of privacy and data security laws, misrepresentation or misuse of personal information, and infringement on freedom of expression. Additionally, any collection or use of special category data (e.g., data related to health, racial or ethnic origin, trade union membership, political beliefs) should be especially cautious as this may require an additional layer of security measures and the explicit consent of the data subject. Moreover, ensuring transparency is key to reducing legal risks — it’s important to inform users what information is being collected and why.

user
You should be aware of potential legal risks associated with data privacy, such as violations of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other global data privacy laws. You should also be mindful of potential ethical issues related to AI and user trust, particularly with regards to user information collection and personal data storage. Finally, you should develop measures to protect user privacy and ensure security protocols are in place for collected data.
