Microsoft Recall AI: Privacy Concerns Over Sensitive Data Screenshots

TL;DR Summary
Microsoft's Recall feature for Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs, which auto-screenshots user activity, has returned after initial security concerns but still poses privacy risks. Despite improvements like encryption and Windows Hello login, the feature's filters fail to consistently block sensitive information, such as credit card details, from being screenshotted. While Recall is opt-in and off by default, its potential to expose sensitive data remains a concern, highlighting the need for further refinement before full release.
