AI and Privacy: Overview
This qualitative study explores stakeholder perspectives on privacy in AI systems, leveraging insights from educators, parents, and AI professionals. It aims to bridge gaps in quantitative findings by providing a richer understanding of nuanced experiences, concerns, and priorities related to AI privacy.
Methodology
We analyzed survey responses from 227 participants (110 Educators/Parents, 117 AI Professionals) using an inductive thematic approach. Responses to five open-ended questions were categorized into themes: Primary Risks, Perceived Benefits, Privacy Concerns, Proposed Measures, and Balancing Benefits & Privacy. Validation by a second researcher ensured consistency.
RQ1: Primary Risks
Stakeholders identified data breaches (unauthorized access, systemic vulnerabilities), ethical misuse (biased decision-making, lack of informed consent), and excessive data collection/misuse (targeted misinformation, manipulation) as primary risks. Parents emphasized child safety, while AI professionals highlighted systemic and ethical implications.
RQ2: Perceived Benefits
Key benefits include personalized experiences (tailored learning, customer service), improved services (simplified lesson planning, accessible resources), educational advancements (adaptive teaching tools), and innovation (solving complex global challenges). AI professionals focused on broader societal impact.
RQ3: Privacy Concerns
Primary concerns were inaccurate predictions/recommendations (lack of context, biases), excessive data collection (more data than necessary, children's inability to manage privacy), and user profiling/surveillance (targeted advertising, manipulation, discrimination).
RQ4: Proposed Measures
Recommendations included enhanced transparency (clear communication, smart contracts), data anonymization (protecting identities), local AI training (federated learning), encryption/deletion, and user empowerment (control tools, privacy settings).
RQ5: Balancing Privacy & Benefits
Key strategies included selective data use (minimal data collection, proportionality), transparent communication (clear policies, user understanding), privacy-by-design (embedded safeguards), and ethical oversight (independent review boards, audits).

Transparency in Practice: Building Trust
Participant #22 (Parent): 'Transparency about what data is collected and why would build trust with parents.'
Participant #56 (AI Professional): 'Providing comprehensive data usage policies could alleviate many concerns.'
These insights underscore that clear, accessible communication about AI data practices is fundamental for fostering trust among diverse stakeholders, ensuring informed consent and responsible AI deployment.
