Tuhi, your storage assistant · AI access for other assistants
Does AI access expose my Mac to the internet or my network?
Short answer: No. AI access runs only on your Mac and can't be reached from the internet or your network; only apps on the same Mac can connect, and by default only with your access key. It's off until you turn it on.
No. AI access runs only on your Mac and is never reachable from the internet or from other devices on your network. Only apps running on the same Mac can connect, and — in the default mode — only those that present your access key.
It's off until you turn it on, and one switch turns it off again. Keep in mind that what your AI assistant then does with an answer is governed by that assistant's own privacy terms.
