On March 15^th，2019， CCTV Evening Show on the Protection of Consumer Rights, some companies on AI and big data went on the stage before the public. By some so-called “hi-tech”, such as intelligent voice robots and probe boxes, they make harassment calls to users, or to capture privacy information from people around them in public. As we all know, AI is tightly bound to the data, not only the development of AI based on the data base, but data aggregation and data acquisition attributed to AI progress. While data, as important as property, people took more and more attention on it, especially, when a lot of data related to personal, such as our consumptive habits, health data, online records, social communication, sports, diet data generated are concerned with personal privacy, and these data are usually collected by intelligent devices in daily life. With the progress and facilities of Artificial Intelligence, results in the improvement on social efficiency, but privacy information is gradually turned to the public, so the paradox of privacy protection and efficiency arises.
