jitters are getting more consumer oriented than ever. google and china's by do announce they're working on chat thoughts that are increasingly hard to distinguish from people. i'm critical of them to the program. operators of computer servers around the world are assessing the damage following a massive assault by hackers. the ransomware attack began in italy, their internet and mobile phone operators report that their servers have failed over a large area. now the organisation net blocks has calculated that the activity on some online servers was only 26 percent of the normal level. the incident comes the same day as known as safer intern a day which aims to draw global attention to the dangers of inadequate internet security. now for more, let's bring in, we'll ask under a project developer, a technical tech, a non profit based here in berlin. welcome back to the program. well,
5:46 pm
how's the nig, how significant is it that italy says it wasn't a state entity that launched these attacks. i think this is a very significant in trying to understand where the expertise comes from these kind of attacks. although at the same time we've seen a lot of private companies build the capacity to create these kind of attacks. and we're closely with governments through things like sy, cyber surveillance, which a lot of software is being produced right now. which crazed this kind of expertise or some companies and individuals, and then it's used back against us some of the states. and it's really interesting, especially in italy because some of the companies there are well known to provide governments with surveillance software. and so therefore, you can imagine this kind of expertise being cultivated within the corporate sector,
5:47 pm
not just in inside government. so this is a tag, apparently has been exploiting a 2 year old bog on computer servers. tell us more about that. well the, their issue here is that a lot of the time software ha ha, is, has some of the bugs that are there that are not really well known to everyone. they don't really understand where the, this kind of glitch is. ok. and because pat people don't update their software usually with patches, the security patches for a lot of different reasons, operational and otherwise, like just time based capacity on these kind of a vulnerabilities exist in a lot of older software, which we don't know about. that doesn't mean that newer software doesn't have these vulnerabilities, but it's very easy for attackers to kind of attack with old vulnerabilities for those who have not updated their software or their, you know,
5:48 pm
that patched up the security flaws. so well, basically the issue here is what experts like you and others have been preaching over the years, or update your software. that's what hasn't happened in this case. yeah, we're with old software where it's not discovered, then you have to update your software. but at the same time, the problem is a lot bigger. where, because of competition, a lot of competition, a lot of products have to rule out really quickly without enough security testing. and i think that's a trend that needs a little bit more of an action on the side of companies and, and corporations that provide services and software where they can test properly before they roll out. rather than trying to release early to, to get ahead in competition. so it's kind of double folded there. but at least from my perspective of people using software, they need to update with security patches as soon as possible. what we saw
5:49 pm
yesterday with this ransomware attack was that it taste of more to come i think that a lot of the times ahead wills will show us that there is more kind of these attacks. data is very, very valuable, and a lot of people will, you know, that's where the real value is, i think, with expertise and with paying off a lot of the time. we can expect some more attack unless there are structural measures taken to kind of make sure that security is a top priority. well as counter of technical tech. thank you. thank you. a computer that can write essays, compose music and palms, and fix mistakes in software code. and that was the idea behind jet g p t, when it was on vales. last year, the microsoft backed artificial intelligence power tool can generate texts that can sound like a human voice,
5:50 pm
wrote them. now google and china's biggest search engine engine bye do have announced chad g p t. rival school says a launch, a chat bought named bart to be rolled out to the public in the coming weeks. while by do announce their project is called in re early bought and will complete testing . in march chat bots are being held as a game trainer ginger, with the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with technology. let's get more of this from the called butler economist and ceo of merante labs, a consulting firm specialist on a. i welcome back to the program nicole now with google and by do throwing themselves in the mix here. how advanced is this technology? good morning. yeah, the technology, i mean, behind the scenes i think what is maybe not as obvious to users is that behind the scenes, the researchers from the 3 companies have been working together, right? at least google and open the i have co authors,
5:51 pm
some of these papers on which the technology is based. and so we expect that google is just as a, as advanced, or similarly advanced as open eye on these technologies. and since large data amount, a crucial to ensure quality and good outputs, we also expect by due to be a true launch, quite a power. okay, knology. so what do you expect here? a new product or a feature that gets added to existing product. so we expect a feature, i mean, for program as this is kind of a cool moment in the u x. so the way a users accessing application because it's, it's gives natural language as an input amazon output. so the whole interaction for the use of the very seamless however, this will also meet him that the search engine business model right, might have to be re engineered. how are we going to see ads, for example,
5:52 pm
in this interactive experience? right, and i mean, reading these texts and poems that chad g b t has come up with. i mean, it does feel freaky to some of us. where do you see pitfalls, dangers along the lines here. so i think there are 23 pitfalls. one is, and there is a small group of developers developing these, these algorithms. and there can be significant bias in them and they're rolled out to a large amount of people. so that's one thing we have to be aware of. and secondly, i mean, you could argue that this is some, some form of content moderation, right? that's going on because there, there is a strain model that then select which information to give you on a request. and i think those are things we need to work out for us. so i think it's good that we have more than one provider coming up and rolling out the technology and all the notion of bias and moderation. i mean chad g, b,
5:53 pm
t and key google services are not available in china. now, is the program that by do is developing this early bought? is that just that china version or something for the, for the free market as, as a real competitor to these other companies? i'm not quite sure where they're rolling it out, but i expect yes that they will be the only ones on the chinese market. and we will, we will have to see once they complete their test, if they decide to come to the rest of the world as well. but they're usually also accessible in the rest of the world. so for sure, we should be able to to select it, but which languages they will bring outright or roll out. that remains to be seen because butner, ceo of my antics lapse. thank you for your time. thanks. and here are some of the other business stories that are making news around the world.

reduction act in a meeting with treasury secretary janet the young and other u. s. top officials, huge subsidies and tax discounts in the inflation reduction act, of course, concern into you as they exclude non us manufacturers. when president biden pledge to invest $370000000000.00 and green energy jobs at home, companies took note including some abroad like germany's becker robotics. the dillman based business makes cable packages used on car production lines. it's c e o says the u. s. subsidies are enticing enough to consider expanding its business over there, rather than in the e u. old or mama, restore us on her printers. this comes as a relief of some things in germany. take a long time or simply made difficult by bureaucracy, remarked less bureaucracy,
5:56 pm
lower energy prices, an abundance of well trained technical staff. some of the reasons european companies consider expanding or moving operations to the us, the subsidies might sway them to make the final push. that's why the german and french trade ministers are meeting with the biden administration. they're hoping to convince washington to include european companies in the inflation reduction act. then we have to explain to the americans that part of the inflation reduction act aren't compatible with will trade organization rules. and there are starting points to improve on that situation. the european commission announce its own green deal industrial plan, but it may not be enough for european subsidy programs. they're often very bureaucratic, very complicated that a quite a long time ago. and i think the european commission should really aim um for more efficient and quicker on programs. and this, i think more important than, you know,
