European Parliament bars lawmakers from AI tools

: Who knows where that helpful email summary is being generated?

Data privacy and AI services have not been the greatest of bedfellows. Studies have shown that employees regularly leak company secrets via assistants, and on-device AI services are a focus of vendors amid concerns about exactly what is being sent to the cloud.

The thought of confidential data being sent to an unknown location in the cloud to generate a helpful summary has clearly worried lawmakers, which is why there is a blanket ban. However, the issue has less relevance if the process occurs on the device itself.

    I think AI is valuable for processing large documents and getting summaries. If they have a local system, that’s fine. I do think they need to start making consumer “ai machines” that just have a chatbot connection. Basically a ChatGPT for your home. It’s not gonna be as fast, but for jobs where you have to go over thousands of pages of content and find references to things or compare document bundles, etc, this would be a valuable tool.

    But yeah fuck using cloud for private docs.
