Attempts to normalize ever more intrusive ?SMART? technologies have taken a concerning turn with Microsoft?s recent announcement of the 'Recall' feature, planned for its Copilot+ Windows 11 PC range. Whilst not marketed as a surveillance capability, a system which automatically takes a screenshot of the user?s activity every few seconds, and saves it as a permanent record, opens up worrying possibilities.
Microsoft?s 'Recall' option is not unique among un-asked for features proposed or rolled out; Apple has not exactly showered itself in glory either. Which leaves us with a situation where if one wishes to maintain true ownership over your own computer then open-source operating systems within the GNU/Linux ecosystem offer the best option.
Microsoft?s Recall feature is concerning not only in and of itself, but also in what it reveals about the way in which Big Tech executives and marketing departments regard the computer-using public.
And a resilient country will recognize that using Artificial Intelligence as a substitute for having tools at our fingertips over which we have meaningful and independent control is the height of Real Stupidity.
