Compromising Privacy: The Role of AI in Smartphone Surveillance

Author(s) Md Absarul Hasan

Abstract In the contemporary digital landscape, smartphones have evolved into essential devices, seamlessly integrating into everyday life to facilitate communication, information access, and numerous tasks. However, their omnipresence has also paved the way for an era of pervasive surveillance. Both governmental bodies and technology corporations have increasingly exploited these devices to monitor and gather data from users, often without clear consent. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with mobile technology has further intensified surveillance capabilities, establishing a system that is omnipresent yet largely invisible. Cases, such as Uber being fined by the Dutch Data Protection Authority, Meta admitting to censoring Covid-19 data in the U.S. under pressure from the White House and fine imposed by South Korea social media watchdog on Meta are clear examples of compromises in the protection of users’ personal data and the suppression of free expression.
In light of the emerging scenario driven by AI applications, this paper explores the widespread nature of smartphone surveillance, primarily because we are mostly connected to these apps through our smartphones, the critical role AI plays in advancing these practices, and the profound implications for individual privacy, autonomy, and societal norms. Through this examination, the paper sheds light on the growing complexities of digital surveillance and calls for urgent discourse on privacy and ethical considerations in the age of AI.
Keywords Keywords: Smartphone, Mobile, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Surveillance, Privacy & Ethics.
