Microsoft delays controversial AI Recall feature on new Windows computers
REDMOND, Wash. (AP) - New laptops equipped with Microsoft Windows start shipping to customers next week without a flagship feature called Recall that drew concerns about privacy and cybersecurity.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella touted the new Recall feature at a showcase event last month, describing it as a step toward artificial intelligence machines that "instantly see us, hear, reason about our intent and our surroundings."
Recall works by periodically taking snapshots of a computer screen to give Microsoft’s AI assistant Copilot a "photographic memory" of a person's virtual activity, ostensibly to help someone remember what they did earlier.
"We're entering this new era where computers not only understand us, but can actually anticipate what we want and our intent," Nadella said in May.
