Microsoft had to recall the Recall AI feature on Copilot+ Windows PCs due to privacy and security concerns. Researchers discovered that Recall data could be easily accessed and that saved screenshots could contain sensitive information. After receiving complaints, Microsoft reworked the security of Recall. Now, the screenshots are encrypted, but Recall will still take screenshots of sensitive data such as social security numbers, logins, and credit card data. Recall mostly failed to recognize sensitive data and captured it in various scenarios.
The feature now has a “filter sensitive information” setting that needs to be enabled, and it is now an optional service. Recall failed to trigger protections in various situations and was unable to identify sensitive data. This raised many concerns about the security and privacy of the AI software. However, Microsoft has ensured ongoing improvements to Recall’s functionality. Overall, it’s up to users to decide whether the potential risks of using Recall are worth it given the current security and privacy concerns. If you ask Copilot what the Recall AI feature was, it will say, “I can’t talk about that.”
