    Apple tightens the Mac's master key as AI agents move in

    Most of us click "allow" without a second thought, and on a Mac one of those clicks hands an app everything: files, mail, messages and browsing history. Apple said yesterday it will tighten that setting, called Full Disk Access, because AI agents make it more dangerous. The move came days after a columnist at Inc., the business magazine, said Meta's Muse assistant had read his private messages, which Meta disputes. Apple is saying what the agent makers would rather not: an assistant is only as safe as the access you gave it. Apple has set no date, and until it does, that setting is the place to look on your company's Macs.

    A video AI fooled almost half the people it talked to

    Fraudsters used a cloned lawyer's voice earlier this year to talk Fideuram, an Italian private bank, into wiring €95 million abroad, Reuters reported last week. Now the same trick is heading for video. Tavus, an American startup that builds AI video avatars, says 26 of 54 people who had a short live call with its new model Griffin believed they had talked to a human. It is the company's own small test, but its previous system fooled almost nobody. Tavus admits Griffin can deceive people and is keeping it with trusted testers. If your company approves payments over video, add a second check.

    Brussels moves to put Amazon's and Microsoft's clouds under its toughest rules

    According to Bloomberg, the European Commission is putting the final touches on a decision to place Amazon's and Microsoft's cloud businesses under the Digital Markets Act, the EU's strictest rulebook for Big Tech. Moving a company off either cloud has always been slow and expensive, and the two giants like it that way. Those rules exist to stop a dominant player from locking customers in. The decision is due in November, after which both get six months to adapt. I think this will matter more to European businesses than most AI rules, because the cost of leaving decides what you can negotiate on price.

    Anthropic will train 10,000 engineers to build its AI into your company

    Anthropic said yesterday it will spend $100 million training 10,000 engineers who can wire its AI into real company systems, the step where most AI projects stall. During a residency, each will lead a real project built on Claude, Anthropic's AI, at their own employer. The first cohorts come from McKinsey, Deloitte, Accenture and Novo Nordisk, and three of the four are consultancies that advise everyone else on which AI to buy. That makes this a clever sales channel as well as a training programme. The next adviser who recommends Claude to you may well have been trained by the company that sells it.

    DeepSeek puts a free AI agent on your desktop

    It rhymes with the Apple story at the top. DeepSeek, the Chinese lab whose cheap models shook the AI industry last year, released a free desktop app for Windows and Mac on Wednesday. It lets its AI work directly on your computer, editing files, sorting documents and analysing spreadsheets. DeepSeek's own safety notice says this early preview has not had a security audit and that a bad add-on can damage files or leak data. When you use DeepSeek's models, your sessions are also logged on its servers. That warning is worth taking literally, and the app belongs nowhere near machines holding company data.
