Comment on Microsoft builds on Recall with Gaming Copilot — fails basic privacy tests

  I don’t think it’s AI related. If you play on a public server, you should expect your data to be public anyway.

  If you play on a private server then there might be rules to be defined.

  All that said, I’m not sure what information would actually be problematic to share but if that’s a problem, sure,

  • play only of private servers than ban such AI tools (basically consider it cheating, which is arguably IMHO but I agree on the negative side effects)
  • make a new account for multiplayer that has no public link with your identity

  And it’s worse when you remember your HR managers use windows.

  What information exactly do you think copilot would be capturing about someone else in an online multiplayer game that is cause for concern that isn’t already being captured by companies?

  Could you expand a bit, I understand that their systems are compromised, but how does that provide information to them about you if you play a game together. Unless you are just referring to the information that a server host or your friend would know anyway.

    automated screenshots when your username is visible, like player lists or above your character when in front of a compormised player

      If that is what was meant, this is nothing new, server hosts have had this information and more for ages, and your gamertag is by no means priveledged information. I am having trouble trying to figure out how this change affects my willingness to play on cross play servers, as others have pointed out however I would be wary of compromised devices with privelidged data like banks or HR which I realistically have no way to protect myself from.

        Having this info because of legitimate needs to provide a service and a third party processing it with AI without explicit consent for their benefit is a huge difference.

    Of course I am referring to info my teammates would know too. Are you inferring that it’s fine that big corporations are profiling you based on what you’re chatting with your friends about?

      I’m not saying I’m OK with it, but I am saying that this data collection on game servers can be negated by not sharing information over in game chat. The rule I follow is that game chat is for talking about specifically the game or a discussing what platform we should communicate on instead; the unfortunate thing is that this ai would potentially compromise other services like your preferred messaging app. All in all, there doesn’t appear to be any reason to stop using cross play servers from a data privacy perspective.
