Apple Plans Tighter macOS Full Disk Access Controls Over AI Agent Data Access

Apple is taking steps to strengthen controls around macOS Full Disk Access due to security concerns related to artificial intelligence agents. The company is motivated by the potential risks posed by some developers' use of Full Disk Access, which can expose sensitive user data. This exposure can include files, email, messages, and browsing history, and may occur without the user's full awareness. Apple's move aims to address these security risks and better protect user information. The use of Full Disk Access by AI agents has raised concerns about the potential for unauthorized data access.
