Privacy: AI's use of personal data raises privacy issues, including surveillance and data breaches.

Transparency: Many AI algorithms are, "black boxes," so it's hard to understand or challenge the decisions.

Responsibility: Questions about who is responsible for AI actions as it gets more autonomy.

Job Displacement: AI automation may lead to unemployment.

Security Risks: AI systems are susceptible to attacks and manipulation, posing risks to security and privacy.
