The UAE Cyber Security Council cautions users against granting AI tools unnecessary access to device features like cameras, microphones, and locations, warning of potential privacy risks from over-permissioned AI apps and urging the use of verified AI services only.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must treat AI tool permissions like sensitive privacy gates and tighten device access now to avoid unexpected data leaks or compliance issues. The trustworthiness of AI apps won’t be assumed anymore, so explicitly check what each tool can access before letting it run.
