Apple tightens full-disk access rules to limit AI agent abuse
Original: Apple changes full-disk access permissions to curb abuse from AI agents
Apple has changed how full-disk access permissions work on its platforms, a move aimed at preventing AI agents from gaining broad, potentially abusive access to user files. The change tightens which software can request unrestricted disk access, reflecting growing concern that autonomous AI tools could quietly harvest sensitive data. The full technical details and scope of the new restrictions have not yet been widely reported.
Why now: Rising use of AI agents is prompting platform makers to rethink security permissions, making this change newsworthy
