Apple tightens macOS Full Disk Access over rogue AI apps

Original: Tightening Full Disk Access on macOS, in Response to AI Apps Running Amok

Apple is tightening Full Disk Access permissions on macOS, a move framed as a response to AI applications aggressively requesting and misusing broad file access. The change would limit how apps can read users' entire disks, curbing AI tools that scan personal data without clear justification. Commenters are debating whether stricter permission controls can keep pace with the surge of AI apps demanding wide system access.

Why now: Growing concern that AI apps are overreaching with file access is prompting debate over Apple's permission changes.
