Abstract

AI's expanding role in daily life offers data-driven decision-making but risks privacy breaches. This study, using the Communication Privacy Management theory, explores AI adoption's future privacy implications. Through thematic analysis of 42 AI expert interviews, we identify six key themes: human agency, data use/abuse, AI transparency/opacity, information weaponization, cyberbullying, and privacy enforcement. These themes contextualize the evolving AI-privacy relationship. We argue that AI's advancement will challenge traditional privacy ownership concepts. This research provides insights into navigating the complex interplay between AI's growth and safeguarding information privacy.
