Microsoft Scales Back Controversial Windows AI Feature
Microsoft is scaling back the release of its new AI tool, "Recall," following security concerns.
The tool, introduced in May, logs all user activities on their PCs, including clicks and things looked at. This feature aims to simplify tasks like managing emails and searching files.
Originally set for broad release on June 18, Recall will now be tested only within the Windows Insider Program.
Microsoft hopes this smaller trial will address security issues before a wider rollout.

Commercial Real Estate in Crisis
Office vacancy rates reached a 30-year high of 18% in 2023. Many companies downsized or terminated leases due to remote and hybrid work trends.
Bargain hunters are now purchasing commercial spaces at extreme discounts up to 70%, according to CoStar.
Examples include an office building in San Jose sold for $56 million less than in 2017, and a Manhattan property bought for 67% below its 2018 price.
$929 billion in commercial mortgages will mature in 2024, making refinancing difficult amid rising interest rates.
