How Windows Recall Works--and Whether You Should Switch It On
Windows Recall is one of the biggest AI features Microsoft has added to Windows 11. It's useful, but it comes with some privacy trade-offs. If you're a Windows 11 user, and specifically an owner of a Microsoft Copilot+ PC that has the necessary AI processing power, you can now take advantage of Windows Recall. It works like a memory for your computer, using screenshots to keep track of everything you're doing on Windows, and then letting you search back through it. The idea is to give you something like your web browsing history, but for the whole computer.

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. A California man was federally charged for allegedly scamming more than 2 million from people over popular dating apps by posing as someone who was "financially successful and knowledgeable about investments," prosecutors said. Christopher Earl Lloyd, 39, of Whittier, is now facing a 14-count federal indictment in connection with the alleged scheme he carried out for nearly three years on dating apps such as Tinder, Hinge and Bumble, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Central District of California. "According to the indictment that a federal grand jury returned on July 2, from April 2021 to February 2024, Lloyd used dating apps and websites to befriend and engage in romantic relationships with his victims. Lloyd lied to his victims to give them the impression that he was financially successful and knowledgeable about investments," the Attorney's Office said.
Teens are now using AI chatbots to create and spread nude images of classmates, alarming education experts
A troubling trend has emerged in schools across the United States, with young students falling victim to the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered "nudify" apps that have the power to create fake pornography of classmates. "Nudify" is an umbrella term referring to a plethora of widely available apps and websites that allow users to alter photos of full-dressed individuals and virtually undress them. Some apps can create nude images with just a headshot of the victim. Don Austin, the superintendent of the Palo Alto Unified School District, told Fox News Digital that this type of online harassment can be more relentless compared to traditional in-person bullying. "It used to be that a bully had to come over and push you. Palo Alto is not a community where people are going to come push anybody into a locker. But it's not immune from online bullying," Austin said.

The Growing Cybersecurity Concerns are Threatening Web 3.0
Web 3.0 is the generation of interest where apps and websites can analyze data like a human with the help of Machine Learning, Big Data, and decentralized ledger technologies. Data here is decentralized and open, unlike Web 2.0 and it is autonomous and intelligent. Cybersecurity is the most important in the technology world. And as Web 3.0 develops, more cybersecurity risks will come to light. At present risks like Information quality, Data Availability, Data Confidentiality, and Data Manipulation are being the major concerns.
Helping companies optimize their websites and mobile apps
Creating a good customer experience increasingly means creating a good digital experience. But metrics like pageviews and clicks offer limited insight into how much customers actually like a digital product. That's the problem the digital optimization company Amplitude is solving. Amplitude gives companies a clearer picture into how users interact with their digital products to help them understand exactly which features to promote or improve. "It's all about using product data to drive your business," says Amplitude CEO Spenser Skates '10, who co-founded the company with Curtis Liu '10 and Stanford University graduate Jeffrey Wang.
Artificial Intelligence for Apps and Websites
For most, the term Artificial Intelligence evokes thoughts of futuristic technologies, of C-3PO and Asimov's "I, Robot." We think of walking, sentient robots that look like us โ or at least we imagine they appear to like us. What we don't generally think of is a glorified speakerbox, or a supercomputer tasked to create recipes. But that's where AI starts โ with small steps and incremental advances in technology. These small steps gradually lead to giant leaps forward; think of a narrow canyon off in the distance: you're pretty sure you can jump the canyon, but first you need to get there.
Spectrm's conversational marketing platform unlocks revenue
What makes a conversation good? It's a question you may or may not spend a lot of time thinking about, but it's something you instantly recognize when it happens. A great exchange cuts through the noise and arrives at the heart of any matter without the trivial small talk. Engaging chats emerge as a natural byproduct of people talking with each other -- not at one another -- in a genuine dialogue. When a fantastic conversation ends, both parties leave happier and better off for taking the time to chat and learn in the first place.
Machine Unlearning: Fighting for the Right to Be Forgotten
Data protection and privacy have been discussed nonstop as more and more people come to realize just how much personal information they are sharing through the countless apps and websites they regularly visit. It's no longer so surprising to see products you've talked about with friends or concerts you've searched on Google promptly appear as advertisements in your social media feeds. And that has many people concerned. Recent government initiatives such as the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are designed to protect individuals' data privacy, with a core concept being "the right to be forgotten." The bad news is, it's generally difficult to revoke things that have already been shared online or to properly delete such data.
