Microsoft postpones the launch of its Recall AI

(Boursier.com) — Microsoft , the Redmond software giant, will not roll out ‘Recall,’ an AI-based feature that tracks PC usage, on its new computers next week. Instead, the group will test this feature with a smaller group later. The Reuters agency raises concerns about the risks to privacy on this subject. Recall tracks web browsing to voice chats, creating a history stored on the computer that the user can search when they need to remember something they did. Recall will only be available immediately for a preview of its Windows Insider program, while some anticipated a much broader deployment to users of PC Copilot+ (category of computers with AI functionalities) on June 18. Reuters cites a Microsoft blog post.

Microsoft discusses “its commitment to providing a reliable, secure and robust experience to all customers and to soliciting additional feedback before making the feature available to all PC Copilot+ users.”
