San Jose, CALIFORNIA (dpa-AFX) - Microsoft has paused the rollout of its
new artificial intelligence feature 'Recall,' the tech giant said on
Thursday after security concerns were raised.

Recall periodically takes snapshots of a PC user's screen, which are
then encrypted and stored and can be analyzed by AI to search for
past information.

Recall was due to feature on Microsoft's new Copilot+ PC range, due
to be released on June 18.

'We are adjusting the release model for Recall to leverage the
expertise of the Windows Insider community to ensure the experience
meets our high standards for quality and security,' Microsoft said.

'This decision is rooted in our commitment to providing a trusted,
secure and robust experience for all customers and to seek additional
feedback prior to making the feature available to all Copilot+ PC
users.'

Security experts raised concerns about Recall after it was unveiled
by Microsoft. The AI-powered feature will now be an opt-in
experience, the database would be encrypted and it would only be
accessible when the user authenticates.
