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

Apple is implementing tighter controls for Full Disk Access on macOS to mitigate security risks associated with AI agents. The company confirmed these changes because some developers utilize Full Disk Access in ways that could jeopardize users by exposing sensitive system data. This includes files, mail, messages, and browsing history without the users' full knowledge. These measures aim to limit Mac disk access for developers as AI agents increasingly seek greater control over computer systems and data.
