Apple is enhancing Full Disk Access controls on macOS due to emerging AI risks. The company announced these changes on its developer news website. New, always-on AI agents from companies like Meta and OpenAI have raised significant privacy concerns. Apple highlighted that some developers misuse Full Disk Access, potentially exposing sensitive user data without clear consent. This includes files, mail, messages, and browsing history. The risks are expected to escalate as AI agents become more autonomous and capable. Currently, Full Disk Access is primarily designed to allow backup applications to function. Apple plans to implement stricter controls requiring explicit user action for granting this high level of access. The goal is to ensure users fully understand the risks before granting permission. The exact timing for these new controls has not yet been specified.
