The role of artificial intelligence in uncovering a major cyber-security risk on the internet is being examined in a technology explainer.
The material focuses on how the discovery happened and what its implications could be for people who use online services. It is presented by technology correspondent Joe Tidy, who explains the process behind the finding and its potential significance.
The supplied information does not identify the specific vulnerability, the systems affected, when it was discovered or whether any organisations have taken action in response. It also provides no details about the scale of the risk or the consequences for internet users.
The explainer therefore centres on two questions: how AI was able to reveal the cyber-security issue, and what the finding means for the public. Further information about the risk and any next steps is not included in the available material.
