  2. #Apple changes full-disk access #permissions to curb abuse from #AIagents

    Apple says it is changing its #macOS #privacy settings to stop third-party app #developers from misusing them to access message histories.

    Friday's announcement comes two weeks after tech columnist Jason Aten said that Meta’s new general-purpose #AI agent Muse sent him an unsolicited notification referencing a thread between him and a co-worker over #AppleMessages. Aten said he never granted #Muse permissions to read his messages and had assumed they were off-limits. #Socialmedia last week blew up with masses of people who agreed and said the incident showed that #AIassistants given access to calendars, emails, messages, shopping accounts, and other resources are akin to a skill saw or other power tool. While potentially useful, they can do real damage if not used carefully.
