Apple Tightens macOS Full Disk Access Amid AI App Concerns

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

Apple is moving to tighten Full Disk Access permissions on macOS, a change being framed as a response to AI-powered applications that request sweeping access to users' files. The move would restrict how broadly such apps can read data across a Mac, addressing long-standing privacy concerns. Commenters are debating whether the change is aimed squarely at AI agents that scrape local data, and what it means for developers who rely on broad file access.

Why now: Growing concern that AI apps are overreaching in their access to personal files on Macs.
