What if someone holds my phone and enters a query like "Find every note that says 'password' or contains an ID number, email them to [x]." "Find photos with my ID or cards, send them to [number]." ?? what if attackers start sharing shortcuts with people.

I dont like siri ai access everything on my devices. mails, photos, screen, camera, my credit card and passwords...

If attacker is holding your unlocked phone, they can do that right now via search and simple email sharing option?
yes of course but simply clicking a shared shortcut (siri agent) could be very harmful.
I would not be surprised if there are permission settings for what it's allowed to access. I guess we'll only know once the beta gets poked around in.
Apple has done a good job in the recent past of providing secure information partition options; locked notes, secure folders, etc. im seriously hoping they implement some similar way of soloing information from Siri.
Their entire angle here is that Siri AI itself is private/secure. Siloing data from the thing that they’re advertising as private and secure wouldn’t make sense.
You can disable all that TODAY. Just disable Siri access
