Apple recently announced that it will tighten the 'Full Disk Access' permissions on macOS and plans to introduce new security mechanisms to reduce privacy risks that may arise when AI agents gain system-level data access. Apple stated that these permissions were originally designed to support the operation of software such as backups. However, with the widespread adoption of AI agents and their enhanced autonomous operation capabilities, the traditional permission system faces new challenges. Once authorized, applications can access sensitive data such as user files, emails, messages, and browsing history, and some developers may use these permissions in ways that compromise user security. To address this, Apple will require users to take more explicit actions to grant such permissions, ensuring that users fully understand the risks before authorizing them.
