Pope Leo XIV is not a fan of AI-generated art

Critics of AI-generated art have a powerful new ally: His Holiness the Bishop of Rome (Episcopus Romanus), Primate of Italy (Primatus Italiae), and Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church (Summus Pontifex Ecclesiae Universalis). In a post on X Friday morning, Pope Leo XIV detailed the spiritual difference between human-generated art and art that is generated by machines, as part of a call to preserve human art from the encroachment of AI. “In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce,” the Servus Servorum Dei wrote. “There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity.” Pope Leo XIV gave a more detailed statement on AI inan encyclical letter in May, which emphasized the importance of human dignity in a world of increasing automation. But that hasn’t stopped AI companies from lobbying the supreme pontiff. According toa recent New York Times report, Anthropic has actively lobbied the Vatican to reconsider its position on non-human consciousness — apparently finding little success.

Apple says it’s tightening macOS ‘Full Disk Access’ controls due to new risks from AI agents

Apple says it’s tightening macOS ‘Full Disk Access’ controls due to new risks from AI agents

Days after a journalist claimed that Meta’s Muse app on Mac read their private messages — aclaim that Meta disputed— Apple announced that it’s introducing additional controls around a setting called “Full Disk Access” on macOS. The feature was designed to allow backups to function properly, but AI agents have now increased “the risks associated with this level of access,” Apple said. Apple’s statement comes shortly after Inc. columnist Jason Atenreportedthat Muse knew the content of his private messages — even though he claimed to have not given the AI agent permission. The report raised questions about the level of security and trust users have in desktop-based AI, which can control things on their systems and read their files and messages. The decision to limit the Mac feature also comes after aWired reportcited that a flaw in ChatGPT’s Mac app could have allowed hackers to access sensitive data. AI agents that run on the desktop allow users to provide their respective apps with greater access to the files, messages, and other personal content on their computers by adjusting macOS settings. In Muse’s case, the AI optionally allows users to enable Full Disk Access. This setting, Apple explains, gives an app permission to access files, mail, messages, and even browsing history. “Some developers are using Full Disk Access in ways that could put users at risk, exposing everything on their systems
without users’ full knowledge and understanding,” Apple saidin a new blog postaimed at developers. The company says that, going forward, it will introduce new controls aimed at ensuring that users who “genuinely wish to grant an app this extraordinary level of access” can do so only with “very explicit user action.” “Addressing this is critical. As AI agents become increasingly capable and autonomous, the risks associated with this level of access will grow substantially. We are committed to ensuring users clearly understand these risks before granting such access, so they can make informed decisions about their own data and privacy,” Apple wrote. Apple did not respond to TechCrunch’s inquiry about the feature change.
