苹果将限制 Mac 磁盘访问权限，以应对 AI 智能体带来的“显著”风险
Apple will add new limits for “full disk access” on Mac in response to risks posed by AI agents, as reported earlier by TechCrunch. In an update on Friday, Apple says it’s rolling out new controls to “ensure that users who genuinely wish to grant an app this extraordinary level of access can only do so with very explicit user action.”
据 TechCrunch 此前报道，为了应对 AI 智能体带来的风险，苹果将对 Mac 的“完全磁盘访问权限”（Full Disk Access）增加新的限制。苹果在周五的一份更新中表示，公司正在推出新的控制措施，以“确保那些确实希望授予应用程序这种超高权限的用户，只能通过非常明确的操作来实现。”
The change comes just weeks after Inc’s Jason Aten found that Meta’s Muse AI somehow knew the contents of his messages, despite not giving the chatbot explicit permission to access them on his iPhone or Mac. Meta spokesperson Andy Stone pushed back on this report, saying access to Messages is “entirely opt-in.” Stone added that you have to “enable both Full Disk Access and the Messages connector for Muse to be able to read your Messages content.”
这一变动发生前几周，Inc 杂志的 Jason Aten 发现 Meta 的 Muse AI 竟然知晓他信息的内容，尽管他并未在 iPhone 或 Mac 上明确授予该聊天机器人访问权限。Meta 发言人 Andy Stone 反驳了这一报道，称对“信息”（Messages）的访问是“完全可选的”。Stone 补充说，用户必须“同时启用完全磁盘访问权限和信息连接器，Muse 才能读取你的信息内容。”
Now Apple is addressing how developers use that sweeping access, saying: “Some developers are using Full Disk Access in ways that could put users at risk, exposing everything on their systems—including files, mail, messages, and even browsing history—without users’ full knowledge and understanding… As AI agents become increasingly capable and autonomous, the risks associated with this level of access will grow substantially.”
目前，苹果正在着手解决开发者如何使用这种广泛访问权限的问题，并表示：“一些开发者以可能使用户面临风险的方式使用完全磁盘访问权限，在用户不知情或不完全理解的情况下，暴露了系统中的所有内容——包括文件、邮件、信息，甚至是浏览历史……随着 AI 智能体变得越来越强大和自主，与这种访问级别相关的风险将显著增加。”
Full disk access is a permission on macOS that gives an app access to a user’s entire system. Apple says the feature “largely sidesteps” privacy controls offered to users “to allow backup apps to function properly on Mac.” The company doesn’t say when it plans to roll out its update for full disk access. Apple didn’t immediately respond to The Verge’s request for comment.
“完全磁盘访问权限”是 macOS 中的一项权限，允许应用程序访问用户的整个系统。苹果表示，该功能“在很大程度上绕过了”为用户提供的隐私控制，“以允许备份应用程序在 Mac 上正常运行”。苹果公司并未说明计划何时推出针对完全磁盘访问权限的更新。苹果没有立即回应 The Verge 的置评请求。
