EU Parliament blocks AI features on tablets over cyber, privacy fears

I understand the need to protect sensitive parliamentary data, especially when built-in AI features silently send data to cloud services. But I hope this is only a temporary measure.

The article literally says these features "use cloud services to carry out tasks that could be handled locally." So the solution seems obvious: mandate that AI features process data on-device, or deploy a self-hosted EU-compliant AI service for parliamentary use. The technology for local LLM deployment is mature enough at this point. Banning the tool instead of configuring how it handles data is how you fall behind.
