Brief news summary

AI has become the new buzzword in the tech industry, with vendors using it to describe their products regardless of their actual capabilities. This is reminiscent of how "Digital" was used a few years ago. However, there are cases where a product truly deserves the AI label. One such example is Microsoft Recall, which takes regular snapshots of your computer screen, allowing you to easily retrieve and review them as needed. While the AI label may accurately describe this feature, its usefulness is a separate consideration.

AI has become the latest buzzword akin to "Digital. " Many vendors apply the AI label to their products without considering whether the capabilities of those products truly justify it. This trend bears resemblance to the previous overuse of the term "Digital" a few years ago. However, there are cases where a product legitimately deserves the AI label.

This accurately describes its functionalities, although it does not necessarily imply that it is a good idea. A case in point is Microsoft Recall, the subject of this column's discussion. It constantly captures snapshots of your computer screen, indexing them for easy recall whenever you need to review them.
