Microsoft's New AI Screenshot Tool Sparks Privacy Concerns

Microsoft's New AI Screenshot Tool Sparks Privacy Concerns

Microsoft has resumed rolling out its AIpowered Recall feature, which takes periodic screenshots of users' activities, after pausing it earlier this year due to privacy concerns. The tool, now in preview for Windows Insider testers, allows searching past actions like browsing history and emails. Users must opt in and can pause or delete snapshots. Privacy advocates remain wary, warning that Recall could store sensitive data from messages and emails without others' consent. Microsoft assures snapshots stay locally stored and require user authentication. The EU rollout is delayed until 2025. The UK’s data watchdog continues monitoring compliance with privacy laws.
