Elon Musk has labeled the new Recall feature unveiled by Microsoft “a black mirror episode.”
Musk’s public rebuke of Microsoft’s Recall feature is particularly significant in the context of the ongoing data security and safety concerns surrounding Copilot+ PCs, which Microsoft launched to establish a foothold in the competitive artificial intelligence (AI) device market.
The Recall AI feature progressively takes snapshots of the user’s screen content to create a library to enhance AI responses. This is then sent to the Recall App, which uses these gathered contents to piece together the answers to a user’s AI queries.
The Recall feature has come under some criticism due to the nature of the content it can store and the security permissions around the safety of personal data. The owner of social platform X, referenced the dark humor and dystopian tone of Charlie Brooker’s popular Netflix series as a jibe toward Microsoft on X. He concluded with, “Definitely turning this ‘feature’ off.”

Actress Scarlett Johansson is threatening Sam Altman and his company OpenAI with legal action, alleging they copied her voice for ChatGPT without her permission.
Johansson, who was the voice of the artificial intelligence assistant in the 2013 science fiction movie “Her,” said ChatGPT’s “Sky” voice is so eerily similar to hers that her closest friends could not tell the difference.
In a statement provided to USA TODAY, Johansson said Altman asked her to be the voice of his AI system and, when she turned him down, he copied her voice anyway.
Altman denied that the voice is Johansson's. OpenAI said it supports stronger protections against deepfakes and works to prevent its synthetic voices from copying those of real people.
