Here is a summary of the main points from the article “Windows 11's Recall AI is now rolling out on Copilot+ PCs” from BleepingComputer:
- Recall AI Rollout: Microsoft has confirmed that the AI-powered “Recall” feature is rolling out to everyone with the Windows 11 KB5055627 update on Copilot+ PCs.
- What Recall Does: Recall is an AI feature that continuously captures your screen, enabling you to quickly search for and access any content you have previously seen on your computer. You can use natural language to describe what you’re looking for (e.g., “the PowerPoint about financial operations”) and Recall will find it for you—even if you don’t remember the actual file name.
- Privacy Concerns: Recall works by “seeing” everything that appears on your screen, including photos, links, and messages. Security researchers have previously raised concerns, noting that Recall could capture sensitive information like passwords in plain text.
- Microsoft’s Response: In response to these concerns, Microsoft made Recall completely optional, tested it with Windows Insiders, and improved the feature to filter out passwords and other sensitive data.
- Availability: Recall is now included in Windows 11 Build 26100 for Snapdragon Copilot+ PCs and will start rolling out to everyone with the May 2025 Patch Tuesday Update.
- Context: The feature was first announced in May 2024 as a flagship AI capability for “AI” PCs running Windows 11.
