Copilot Vision on Windows 11 sends data to Microsoft servers

Microsoft announces a wave of AI features for Windows 11, led by Copilot Vision—an opt-in, cloud-processed screen analysis tool—and a local “agentic” Settings assistant (Mu) capable of executing system changes from natural language commands. The article notes prior security failings with Recall and regulatory considerations (e.g., EU AI Act), questions around unresolved LLM hallucinations, and adds details on expanded AI capabilities across Photos, Paint, Snipping Tool, and Click to Do. It also covers UI and reliability updates like a new Black Screen of Death and quick machine recovery, a staged rollout via controlled feature deployment, and the unveiling of the Surface Laptop 5G with Copilot+ support.
