🧠 Microsoft Recall gets safety changes

Microsoft is making changes to its new Recall on-device AI feature following security concerns. The tool will now start off by default and will include new encryption protections ahead of its release on June 18.

THE BREAK DOWN:

The Copilot + Recall feature was unveiled at the Microsoft Build event in May, which will run locally and take constant screenshots to remember user actions.
The company faced backlash after experts warned of the tool’s ‘privacy nightmare’ with the potential to expose screenshots and activity to hackers.
The feature will now be off by default, with users having to opt in manually — with new encryption and authentication being added for extra safety measures.
The tool will roll out in ‘preview’ on the new Copilot + PCs set to launch on June 18.

^{OPENAI & ELON MUSK}

👨🏻‍⚖️ Musk drops OpenAI lawsuit

Elon Musk has officially withdrawn his lawsuit against OpenAI just one day before a key court hearing. The previous filing had accused OpenAI of abandoning its mission of "developing AI for the benefit of humanity.

THE BREAK DOWN:

Musk co-founded OpenAI alongside Sam Atman and Greg Brockman in 2015, with the stated mission of keeping AI development open and non-profit.
Musk claimed that since his departure from the board in 2017, OpenAI pivoted to focus on profits, particularly through its partnership with Microsoft.
OpenAI denied Musk’s allegations, also releasing a series of emails from Musk’s days at the company that seem to contradict his arguments.

The timing of the lawsuit withdrawal is particularly interesting, given the billionaire’s reaction on Monday to OpenAI’s integration into Apple’s OS. But despite this chapter seemingly coming to a close in the Musk vs. OpenAI saga, it still feels like a feud that is far from over.
