Windows Insiders are testing a new AI feature. With Copilot Vision, they can make their entire desktop available for artificial intelligence to see.
Members of the Windows Insider program can use Copilot in a new way. After gaining access, Copilot Vision records our entire desktop. This way, AI can easily help users with the issues they're currently facing while working on the computer. However, Microsoft didn't reveal how desktop recordings are saved (vide The Verge).
Microsoft is just beginning to introduce Copilot Vision for its insiders, as mentioned on the official Windows blog. Based on the information provided, it seems that Copilot Vision will be live monitoring what's on our desktop. These can be Excel spreadsheets, graphic design projects, or writing a resume. Artificial intelligence will suggest what can be improved or changed.
Live, using a microphone, users can ask Copilot questions, and it will give them answers based on what is visible on the screen. At any time, you can stop and resume recording the Copilot Vision screen. The program is an expansion of what Microsoft presented in 2024. This solution was met with negative reception among internet users.
This is how Microsoft announced Vision Copilot.

One of these features is Recall, which took screenshots of our images to make it easier to find them later on the computer. Another solution was "intelligent media search," where AI transcribed audio and video recordings to also facilitate their later finding on the computer disk. The problem for each of them is user privacy.
The computer owner must agree to share the screen and launch it, that is true. But, we don't know how the information is stored. Some people are questioning whether Microsoft can use the collected data to further train artificial intelligence without the knowledge of the person who shares the recordings.
