Apple restricts what Mac AI agents can access

Original: Apple is clamping down on how much of your Mac AI agents can see # Apple # Meta # AI # ArtificialIntelligence # TechNews

Apple is introducing new macOS controls that limit how much of a Mac's data AI agents can see, particularly around full disk access. The move would restrict tools that scan large portions of a user's system, including third-party assistants from companies like Meta, tightening privacy protections as AI agents become more capable.

Why now: Growing concern over AI agents having broad access to personal data on Macs.
