It's not only about privacy, it creates a pretty serious attack vector. This will be a huge target among the more nefarious groups online (or even in person from the perspective for use among stalkers, blackmailers, etc)
So true. It makes me very nervous. Luckily, I don't have a computer with an NPU in it yet. I do have a mini PC that's running Windows 11, but I've been planning to upgrade it to Linux. I use it as a media server on my TV.
Then I'll say it for you. They couldn't care less about user privacy and will do everything they can get away with to harvest user data for various reasons. Recall and other neural engine features have the potential to be very powerful spying tools. It could use the hashes of images it analyzes locally to respond to external queries. The brilliance of this is data doesn't need to constantly get uploaded to servers. Instead small bits of encrypted data can be sent in response to a query asking for specific information. This could range from 'benign' usage data to whether certain media contains flagged content. Similar to the drama when Apple suggested it would be detecting csam locally on devices. To be clear, I'm not claiming this is exactly what they're doing. I'm only pointing out that the technology behind NPU features like this are exactly what you'd want to implement such a system. Personally, I think their track record combined with forcing it onto users is a red flag that there are motivations here which aren't in our best interest.
When I found out about this I jumped fully into Linux. I don't want my computer literally video recording me! However, I don't think it's gonna affect/effect Windows computing space at all because most normal people don't know or care about privacy or change defaults. They just use their computer as it is.
I've only watched a few videos from Chris, and they seem legit. I will say with regard to me, I don't know everything and it's just my two cents being put on the Internet. Thank you for watching!
This has to have a non-negligible performance hit also.

Thank you for this i don't trust chris titus he has lied in the past about tiny 11 also notepad auto saves now

short answer : yes
unless you go out of your way to buy a copilot pc you really dont have to worry about this lol.
why not windows 3000, bro we are 1076 years short of that lol wow
Might as well get ahead of the curve!
