Abstract

As artificial intelligence (AI) systems become increasingly embedded in surveillance infrastructures, the tension between innovation and individual privacy intensifies. This paradox of privacy reflects the conflict between the need to harness AI for security, governance, and convenience, and the obligation to uphold fundamental rights related to data protection, anonymity, and autonomy. Governments, corporations, and law enforcement agencies are deploying AI-powered surveillance systems with unprecedented capabilities for monitoring and profiling individuals, often without sufficient legal oversight or transparency. This paper explores the ethical, legal, and technical challenges of balancing AI-driven surveillance with robust data privacy protections. It examines the role of AI in modern surveillance, the risks posed to civil liberties, and the need for policy interventions and technological safeguards to ensure that innovation does not come at the cost of individual freedoms.
