This is the best summary I could come up with:
Microsoft had originally planned to turn Recall on by default, but the company now says it will offer the ability to disable the controversial AI-powered feature during the setup process of new Copilot Plus PCs.
Recall uses local AI models to screenshot mostly everything you see or do on your computer and then give you the ability to search and retrieve anything in seconds.
Everything in Recall is designed to remain local and private on-device, so no data is used to train Microsoft’s AI models.
TotalRecall extracts the Recall database so you can easily view what text is stored and the screenshots that Microsoft’s feature has generated.
“In some cases, this will mean prioritizing security above other things we do, such as releasing new features or providing ongoing support for legacy systems.”
Davuluri references Microsoft’s SFI principles in today’s response, noting that the company is taking action to improve Recall security.
