Microsoft has decided to postpone the launch of its new AI-powered feature, Recall, initially set to roll out with Copilot+ PCs next week. This decision comes after users and experts raised significant privacy concerns.
The Recall feature is designed to monitor user activity, including web browsing and voice chats, to create a searchable history on the device. While this can help users easily access past actions, it has sparked fears over data privacy and security.
Critics caution that such a feature could be vulnerable to exploitation by malicious actors seeking access to sensitive information stored on users' computers. In response to these concerns, Microsoft will subject Recall to additional testing within the Windows Insider Program before a broader release.
As Microsoft navigates the balance between innovative AI features and user privacy, the delay underscores the importance of safeguarding personal data in an increasingly digital world.
