UK watchdog looking into Microsoft AI taking screenshots
Microsoft handout supplied by PA. The UK data watchdog says it is "Making enquiries with Microsoft" over a new feature that can take screenshots of your laptop every few seconds. Microsoft says Recall is an "Optional experience" and it is committed to privacy and security. Microsoft says it "Built privacy into Recall's design" from the beginning, and users will have control over what is captured. "There may well be information on the screen which is proprietary or confidential to the user's employer; will the business be happy for Microsoft to be recording this? And he asked how consent would work for people appearing on the screen on a video call or photo."Are they going to be given the choice as to whether to consent to that? User and access controls will be a key issue on which Microsoft will doubtless be focussing," he said. According to Microsoft, Recall will not moderate or remove information from screenshots which contain passwords or financial account information.
