Microsoft to delay release of Recall AI feature on security concerns

Microsoft announced that it will not include the Recall feature, an AI-powered tool that tracks computer usage, in its new computers next week due to privacy concerns. Instead, Microsoft will be previewing the feature with a smaller group at a later time. The Recall feature tracks various activities such as web browsing and voice chats, storing a history that users can search through to remember past actions. The preview will be available only on Microsoft's Windows Insider Program before being made broadly available to all Copilot+ PC users. The decision was made to ensure a trusted and secure experience for customers and gather additional feedback.
