Apple has announced plans to flag requests made through third-party AI tools that seek access to user data on Mac devices, following concerns raised about Meta’s Muse app. The move comes after complaints that some AI applications may be collecting sensitive information without explicit user awareness. The company will introduce a warning system to alert users before granting such access, emphasizing greater transparency in data handling. This decision reflects growing scrutiny over how AI tools interact with personal information on consumer devices.
