The current study aimed to identify the impact of the use of artificial intelligence applications on the digital privacy of individuals and institutions in Oman. It focused on their usage on social networks and open-source software, as well as the challenges arising from their use. The study adopted a qualitative approach, utilizing three focus groups and eight semi-structured interviews as data collection tools. The study community included institutions with practices in using artificial intelligence applications and those dealing with related technical and legislative systems. The sample was purposefully selected and consisted of six institutions: four government agencies and two private institutions.The study revealed several key findings, including: some major companies use artificial intelligence applications on social networking sites and open-source software to violate privacy and infringe on user data by analyzing and selling it to other institutions for political or financial gain. The results also indicated that artificial intelligence applications could be used to commit information crimes such as electronic extortion, government data theft, and system disruptions. Additionally, they could be exploited by social engineers to perpetrate more advanced forms of cybercrime. The study concluded with several recommendations, including the need to design a program for employees in institutions to enhance and raise their technical, legislative, and organizational awareness in dealing with modern and advanced technologies.
