Microsoft AI feature that tracks your every PC move


Microsoft's new AI feature, Recall, has come under fire for its potential privacy risks [^1]. Recall captures screenshots of everything a user does on their computer, creating a searchable record of their activity. While this may seem like a convenient way to find past information, it also raises concerns about the security of this sensitive data.

Cybersecurity experts warn that the data collected by Recall could be exploited by hackers to steal personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers [^1]. Because Recall captures screenshots of everything a user does, it has the potential to collect even the most sensitive information typed on a keyboard. If a hacker were able to gain access to a user's Recall data, they could potentially steal this information and use it for malicious purposes.

In light of these concerns, the UK's Information Commissioner's Office has launched an investigation into Recall [^1]. The investigation will focus on Microsoft's data security practices and how Recall protects user privacy. It is important to note that Microsoft is still developing Recall, and the company has said that it is committed to addressing privacy concerns before the feature is widely released [^1].
