Jamf Finds 1-in-5 Firms Hit by AI Incidents as EU Presses Apple Data Sharing
2 articles · Updated · Computerworld · Jun 15
Summary
One in five IT and security leaders has already faced an AI-related incident involving security problems, unexpected costs, or both, according to Jamf survey results published Monday.
The findings come as 72.9% of organizations have already deployed AI and 59.7% see an AI incident as a near-term risk, underscoring how quickly governance pressures are rising.
Organizations with deeply integrated AI were 40% more likely to report incidents than those still exploring the technology, with Jamf pointing to shadow IT, vendor sprawl and unpredictable usage-based pricing.
The report is being read against Europe’s push for Apple to open personal data to rival AI services, a move critics say could weaken Apple’s privacy model and raise enterprise data-exposure risks.
In the Apple vs. EU AI standoff, is user privacy a genuine concern or a convenient excuse?
Can open AI and user data confidentiality ever truly coexist, or is a clash inevitable?
Are Europe's strict data laws turning its citizens into second-class digital citizens?
450 Million EU Users Blocked from Apple AI: Digital Markets Act Spurs Security, Governance, and Data Exposure Crisis in 2026
Overview
As of mid-2026, the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) has forced Apple to delay the launch of its advanced AI-powered Siri in the EU, affecting 450 million users. This is due to a regulatory dispute with the European Commission, which requires Apple to make Siri interoperable so that users can choose competing AI assistants. Apple argues that such interoperability could compromise user privacy and security, while EU regulators insist it is necessary for fair competition. As a result, Apple’s new Siri AI features will not be available in the EU when released elsewhere, highlighting the complex balance between innovation, regulation, and user protection.
