Google Gemini could soon get full access to your Mac’s files, apps and the web
Google plans to expand Gemini's capabilities on macOS to access files, launch applications, browse the web, and execute actions with reduced permission prompts. The enhancement aims to streamline user workflows by granting the artificial intelligence (AI) assistant broader system-level permissions.
Why it matters: macOS users should evaluate the security implications of granting an AI system broad file and app access, as this expands the attack surface if the system is compromised or behaves unexpectedly.
