For practitioners: device-level visibility and control change the security tradeoffs for managing generative AI on employee Macs, because native macOS agents can evade network-only controls. According to a Jamf press release distributed via PR Newswire, Jamf announced general availability of **AI Governance**, a new capability in Jamf for Mac that discovers AI tools, enforces policy controls, and produces audit-ready reporting. Reporting by PR Newswire and IT Brief says initial support includes `Claude Code`, `Claude Desktop`, and `OpenAI Codex`, and Jamf describes the product as delivering native, OS-level governance controls and a vendor control tracking engine to keep policies current. 9to5Mac and IT Brief cite a direct quote from Jamf CEO Beth Tschida on the need for endpoint-enforced AI policy.
