Differentiated privacy in AI is particularly at home in the areas of artificial intelligence, big data and smart data as well as cybercrime and cybersecurity.
The term describes how users' personal data can be specifically protected when working with artificial intelligence (AI). Instead of treating all data equally strictly, differentiated privacy takes a closer look: Which information is particularly sensitive and which may be used for other purposes? The aim is to adapt privacy protection flexibly and individually to the respective user and usage scenario.
One example: a health service uses AI to create personalised fitness plans. Data such as the number of steps or sleep times could be analysed anonymously, while particularly sensitive medical diagnoses remain strictly confidential and are not used for advertising purposes. This creates a balance between the useful utilisation of data and the protection of personal privacy.
Differentiated privacy in AI is therefore an important approach to creating trust, complying with legal requirements and safely utilising the benefits of intelligent systems.
