Here's what you need to know
Artificial intelligence, also known as AI, is a type of computer software
Typically, a computer will do what you tell it to do
But artificial intelligence simulates the human mind, and can make its own deductions, inferences or decisions
A simple computer might let you set an alarm to wake you up
But an AI system might scan your emails, work out that you’ve got a meeting tomorrow, and then set an alarm and plan a journey for you
AI tech is often “trained” – which means it observes something (potentially even a human) then learns about a task over time
For instance, an AI system can be fed thousands of photos of human faces, then generate photos of human faces all on its own
Some experts have raised concerns that humans will eventually lose control of super-intelligent AI
But the tech world is still divided over whether or not AI tech will eventually kill us all in a Terminator-style apocalypse
Separate exceptions can also be added to specific applications where the feature won't apply.
Microsoft also said that Recall will not censor or wipe information from the screenshots that it takes, even when passwords or bank account details are visible on-screen.
Dr Kris Shrishak, an adviser on AI and privacy, however, believes the AI feature could have a "chilling effect" on people.
He told the BBC. "This could be a privacy nightmare.
"The mere fact that screenshots will be taken during use of the device could have a chilling effect on people."
