Apple wants to warn Mac users about the risks of autonomous AI agents

San Jose. Given the proliferation of independently acting AI agents, Apple wants to inform users of its Mac computers more about risks before they can give such software extensive access to their data. Some developers are using today's access options in a way that could reveal all the data on the devices, the company warned. That's why they want to make sure that everyone is aware of the dangers before they agree to data access for artificial intelligence.

The so-called AI agents are intended to autonomously carry out tasks for their users. AI companies say that their new agents can now do almost everything you do on a computer. To be truly useful in everyday life, they rely on in-depth access to their information - emails, chats, calendars, possibly even bank accounts.
