ABSTRACT

Contemporary, multidisciplinary research sheds light on data privacy implications of artificial intelligence (AI). This review adopts an AI ecosystem perspective and proposes a process-outcome continuum to classify AI technologies; this perspective helps to understand the nuances of AI relative to psychological aspects of privacy decision-making. Specifically, different types of AI affect traditionally studied privacy decision-making frameworks including the privacy calculus, psychological ownership, and social influence in varied ways. By understanding how the process- or outcome-orientation of an AI technology affects privacy decision-making, we explain how AI creates privacy benefits but also poses challenges. Future research is needed across privacy decision-making, but also more generally at the intersection of privacy and AI, to help foster an ethical, sustainable society.
