    Windows Recall is one of their AI solutions they’re pushing onto people which would screenshot everything on your system in order to assist users in searching through previous desktop interactions and whatnot.

    Security researchers are highly against the rollout of this ‘feature’ as it uses AI and the previous betas have shown that Microsoft is incapable of ensuring the prevention of abuse from malicious users.

    Ex: a user entering in their credit card information for an online transaction would have that information stored as an indexable/searchable piece of information by a malicious outsider.

    Microsoft has yet to show competance in their abilities to prevent the creation of such a wide attack surface.
