European Parliament blocks AI on lawmakers’ devices, citing security risks

The European Parliament has blocked lawmakers from using AI tools on their devices due to cybersecurity and privacy concerns. The IT department cited risks associated with uploading confidential data to AI companies' servers, stating that the security of such data cannot be guaranteed. This decision comes amid ongoing scrutiny of U.S. tech giants and their compliance with U.S. law, particularly in light of recent subpoenas from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Critics argue that proposed legislative changes could undermine Europe's strong data protection rules.
