Elon Musk advises Windows users to disable new AI feature likened to ‘a Black Mirror episode’

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Tech mogul Elon Musk has issued a stark warning to Windows users regarding a new AI feature on Microsoft’s latest update to Windows 11. The feature, known as Recall, has raised concerns among users and experts alike, with Musk likening it to a “Black Mirror episode”.

Recall, an artificial intelligence feature exclusive to a range of new Copilot+ PCs, allows users to take screenshots of everything on-screen and scroll back in time to resume work on anything from within the last month. The AI can analyze text and pictures in the screenshots to help users find what they’re looking for, without needing to know the exact name of a document or webpage.

While Microsoft assures users that they are in control of their privacy and that Recall will not take screenshots in private browsing mode, concerns have been raised about the potential privacy implications of the feature. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has confirmed that it is making inquiries with Microsoft to understand the safeguards in place to protect user privacy.

Experts in AI and cybersecurity have also expressed concerns about the implications of the Recall feature. Dr. Kris Shrishak believes it could have a “chilling effect” on people, while cybersecurity adviser Jake Moore warns that it could provide cybercriminals with more opportunities to exploit users.

As users weigh the benefits and risks of the new AI feature, the debate over privacy and security in the age of advanced technology continues to unfold.
