> This new rollout could indicate that Microsoft is finally getting close to launching Recall more widely. Microsoft originally intended to launch Recall alongside Copilot Plus PCs last June, but the feature was delayed following concerns raised by security experts. The company then planned to launch it in October, but that [2]got pushed as well so that the company could deliver "a secure and trusted experience."

The AI training clause ... (Score:2)
Somehow, I expect that there is an AI training clause in the click through End User License Agreement.
Maybe it's due to regulations (Score:2)
Some places require a legitimate need to collect personal information.
Microsoft needs a feature to justify the collection of screen scraping, and they've been hitting road blocks with regulators.

Recall is the name of the software. Perhaps you should go back to elementary school for help with reading comprehension?

When you realize Microsoft really and truly owns ... like "the business world"? Government? Banks? Airlines? I mean this is Orwellian at this point. The loss of autonomy of those very important institutions is should be disturbing if you think about it. Who won't want that data? Marry this story with the story of PreCrime in present day, the application of AI to psychologically profiling you, then predicting your behaviour... these things are made for each other, doncha think?

Under the guise of a "useful" AI agent, IMHO, they are getting you to train their agent by watching everything you do, which they can then sell or use to manipulate you. This is the current model of the internet. Soon they will have agents trained by CEO's, politicians, police, engineers, everyone.

Or to put it another way, "The eyes of Texas^H^H^H^H^HRedmond are upon you, all the live-long day...."
Of course, this has been true for some time now. The major difference is that more is being recorded. Much more.
