Apple Tightens macOS Full Disk Access Over AI Data Risks
Original: Apple Tightens macOS Full Disk Access Amid AI Risks
Apple is restricting how apps obtain Full Disk Access on macOS, a change widely read as a response to AI tools and agents that can sweep up large amounts of personal data from a user's drive. The move limits which software can request broad disk access, reducing the risk that chatbots, AI agents or background processes read sensitive files without users fully understanding what they are handing over. Developers may need to adjust how their apps request permissions.
Why now: Growing use of AI assistants and agents that access users' files has raised privacy concerns, making Apple's tightening of disk permissions timely.
