Microsoft AI screenshots everything you do on your computer — and privacy experts are concerned

Maybe Microsoft Recall should get a recall.

The computer giant’s new artificial intelligence program is causing worry among cyber experts as it takes screenshots of a user’s activity every five seconds.

“This could be a privacy nightmare,” Dr. Kris Shrishak, an AI and privacy adviser, warned the British Broadcasting Company.

“The mere fact that screenshots will be taken during use of the device could have a chilling effect on people.”

Recall is part of the brand’s new, larger AI Co-Pilot interface. Microsoft boasts that it can help users “retrace their steps” in a technically informal manner.

The program can read key terms and words in screen captures. When users input photos, phrases or links to search within their history, Recall can then scan and match those with relevant screenshots.
