What Are Your Thoughts on the Privacy Risks of Microsoft's New Recall AI?

[Daniel Baloch]

I've been diving into Microsoft's new AI feature, Recall AI, which is designed to help users remember important details and tasks by analyzing their communications and activities. While the technology sounds promising, especially for productivity, I'm concerned about the potential privacy implications.

Imagine an adversary gaining access to this AI. They could potentially exploit the system to collect sensitive data, track user behavior, or even manipulate the AI to retrieve confidential information. The more the AI learns about a user's habits, the more vulnerable that user could become to targeted attacks.

I'm curious to hear what others think. Could this be a significant privacy risk? How do you see this being leveraged by bad actors? Let's discuss the possible cybersecurity implications and share ideas on how we might protect against such threats.

I am not saying we shouldn't put any effort into governing personal data, but users also need to understand; whatever you put on the internet stays on the internet and subjected to misuse.
