Apple limits Mac disk access as AI risks grow

apple is introducing new controls to limit full disk access on macs due to growing risks from ai agents. the company states that some developers are using this access in ways that could expose users' files, mail, messages, and browsing history without their full knowledge. as ai agents become more capable and autonomous, the risks associated with this level of access will increase substantially. apple requires mac apps to have explicit user action to gain full disk access. this change affects mac users and app developers, potentially impacting how apps function on macos.
