Microsoft has unveiled ‘Recall,’ an AI-powered feature for Windows 11 that records and organizes user activities for easy access. It supports native language queries and requires specific hardware. Scheduled to roll out with support for select languages, Recall stores data locally and allows users to control captured information for privacy. Concerns about local data security remain unanswered.
Based on the meeting notes, here are the key takeaways:
1. Microsoft has announced a new AI-powered feature for Windows 11 called ‘Recall,’ which acts as a photographic memory for the PC, allowing users to search through their historical activities using natural language queries.
2. The feature requires specific hardware specifications including a Copilot+ PC that supports 40 TOPs NPU, a Snapdragon X chip, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage to function.
3. Recall will initially support English, Chinese (simplified), French, German, Japanese, and Spanish languages, with plans for more languages in the future.
4. Users have control over the data captured by Recall and Microsoft assures that all data will be stored locally on the device, with privacy settings allowing users to manage data retention and deletion.
5. Security concerns were raised about the possibility of threat actors gaining access to the locally stored data, to which BleepingComputer has requested a response from Microsoft about the measures in place to secure the data.
