summary: "Meta's Muse AI agent faces allegations of accessing private messages without user consent, sparking a move by Apple to restrict system permissions for macOS. The company is introducing new controls for the \"Full Disk Access\" permission to prevent autonomous AI tools from gaining unrestrained entry to sensitive information, including personal files, email accounts, and browsing histories. Apple warned that the evolving capabilities of third-party AI agents have increased the risks associated with broad system access. These updated privacy protections aim to create more granular boundaries, limiting the amount of data exposed to software that can act independently across the operating system. The changes appear as part of a broader security push for the upcoming macOS updates."
