[0:00] The show pays very close attention to
[0:02] artificial intelligence, the risks and
[0:04] the rewards. And today we have a story
[0:06] about how the technology might in fact
[0:08] have done something very valuable.
[0:11] Thanks to Open AI, security researchers
[0:13] found a bug in programming language
[0:16] that's used across the internet. It's
[0:18] estimated that about 70% of all websites
[0:20] use what's known as PHP and they are
[0:25] vulnerable to cyber attacks in a very
[0:27] specific way. The NSA issued a security
[0:29] warning to anyone on PHP's system to
[0:33] make security updates or patches or if
[0:35] they can't take their systems offline
[0:39] until they can. I'm joined now by Juan
[0:42] Andre Guerrero Assad. He is the vice
[0:44] president of intelligence and security
[0:46] research at Sentinel 1.
