"Uploading data to AI chatbots, like Anthropic's Claude, Microsoft's Copilot, and OpenAI's ChatGPT, for example, means that U.S. authorities can demand the companies that run the chatbots turn over information about their users. AI chatbots also typically rely on using information that users provide or upload to improve their models, increasing the chance that potentially sensitive information uploaded by one person may be shared and seen by other users."
"Europe has some of the strongest data protection rules in the world. But the European Commission, the executive body that oversees the 27-member state bloc, last year floated new legislative proposals aimed at relaxing its data protection rules to make it easier for tech giants to train their AI models on Europeans' data, drawing ire from critics who said the move caves in to U.S. technology giants."
The European Parliament disabled baked-in AI features on work devices after the IT department concluded it could not guarantee the security of data uploaded to AI company servers and is still assessing what information is shared. The department judged it safer to keep such features disabled. Uploading data to AI chatbots can allow U.S. authorities to compel companies to turn over user information, and companies often use uploaded content to train models, raising exposure risks. The European Commission proposed easing data rules for AI training, prompting criticism amid broader EU scrutiny of U.S. tech firms.
