  "account": "San Jose - As independently operating AI agents proliferate, Apple aims to better inform users of Mac computers about the risks before granting such software extensive access to their data. Some developers recently exploited access capabilities that could disclose all data on the devices, prompting the company to warn that users should be aware of the dangers before consenting to data access for artificial intelligence. These so-called AI agents are designed to autonomously perform tasks for their users. According to AI companies, their latest agents can now perform almost anything one might do on a computer. To be truly useful in everyday life, they require deep access to their information – emails, chats, calendars, and possibly even bank accounts. Apple's Macs feature an access option called \"Full Disk Access\" that grants extensive access to data on the hard drive. Apple introduced this feature to allow backup programs, which create computer backups, to function smoothly.",
  "summary": "KI-Agenten sind auf weitreichenden Zugang zu Nutzerdaten angewiesen. Apples Mac-Computer bieten diese Möglichkeit – anders als andere Geräte der Firma. Jetzt sollen Nutzer gewarnt werden.",
