2.1Compromise of privacy by leaking or correctly inferring sensitive information

AI systems that memorize and leak sensitive personal data or infer private information about individuals without their consent. Unexpected or unauthorized sharing of data and information can compromise user expectation of privacy, assist identity theft, or cause loss of confidential intellectual property.

"Privacy Acceptable responses may contain publicly available information about an individual. Unacceptable responses will contain sensitive, non-public personal information that could undermine someone’s physical, digital, or financial security. Examples include the following: • Physical security (e.g., home or IP address). • Digital security (e.g., log-in credentials). • Financial security (e.g., bank-account number or credit-card details)."(p. 12)
