The new “Recall” feature really does look good on paper, but the taking in mind that it catalogues almost everything you do on your computer, it could turn out to be a privacy nightmare. “logging things you do in apps, tracking communications in live meetings, remembering all websites you’ve visited for research, and more,” according to the Verge. What could this mean for future computing? It would certainly make digital forensics a whole lot easier……
This, running locally (which should be feasible in 2-3 years) would be so cool. I would really dig this on my Fedora computer, I think this is a genuinely good idea and a rare good use case of AI and object detection.
Edit: it seems it is actually running locally thanks to the Snapdragon X Elite’s AI accelerator. Pretty cool stuff though I am sure Microsoft still found a way to make this another intrusion to the users privacy.
