<li><strong>European Parliament bans cloud AI on devices</strong>: The European Parliament has disabled cloud-based AI features on lawmakers’ corporate devices due to data security and privacy concerns, as reported by multiple sources. Their IT department can’t guarantee data security when AI assistants use cloud services, fearing confidential information could be processed in unknown cloud locations, many of which are U.S.-based. This move highlights institutional unease about AI handling sensitive legislative data, despite the EU’s own AI Act. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/NW6nIRqB9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI is driving component shortages and hardware delays</strong>: The insatiable demand from AI datacenters is causing significant memory (RAM) and storage component shortages, impacting the broader hardware industry. Valve, for instance, is experiencing intermittent stock issues for Steam Deck OLED units and has delayed upcoming hardware launches, including the Steam Machine, citing these shortages. Sony may even delay the PlayStation 6 until 2028-2029, and Nintendo is considering price increases for the Switch 2, all due to the AI-fueled component crunch. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ttFo5ZiRW" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents are making IoT security worse</strong>: A hobbyist, using Claude AI, accidentally uncovered a critical vulnerability in DJI’s MQTT broker while reverse-engineering a robot vacuum, exposing live camera feeds, microphones, and floor plans from 7,000 devices across 24 countries. This incident, reported by multiple outlets, highlights how AI coding assistants are lowering the barrier for discovering IoT security flaws, while manufacturers like DJI continue to ship products with basic security failures, making EU and UK regulations on IoT security increasingly challenging to enforce. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/sfYExhzMO" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
