Critics, especially those keen to maintain some degree of privacy and autonomy in an age of ubiquitous surveillance, have expressed concerns about the “recall” feature.

When an interviewer confronted Nadella about the idea that recalls were “creepy,” Nadella, the CEO of a technology company he recently founded, said:

Microsoft seems focused on creating AI bots that are not only archivists of users’ communications, written thoughts, and virtual actions, but also visionaries.
