The European Parliament has disabled built‑in artificial intelligence (AI) features on corporate devices used by lawmakers and staff, citing unresolved cybersecurity and data protection risks.

The decision targets AI tools embedded in tablets and phones, while leaving essential apps such as email, calendar, and document editors untouched.

According to an internal email described in a Politico report, the Parliament’s IT department determined it could not guarantee the security of AI features that send device data to cloud services for processing.
