Google recently revealed how hackers are 00:09:04.460 --> 00:09:07.320 turning artificial intelligence into a super 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:10.720 weapon. While artificial intelligence programs 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.779 can enhance productivity, malicious actors are 00:09:13.779 --> 00:09:17.100 using them to steal sensitive information, including 00:09:17.100 --> 00:09:20.610 passwords and bank details.

The sitcom, which 00:10:01.730 --> 00:10:06.450 aired on NBC from 2001 to 2008 and continued 00:10:06.450 --> 00:10:11.669 on ABC until 2010, is quintessentially millennial. 00:10:12.570 --> 00:10:15.210 While the revival attempts to rekindle nostalgia, 00:10:15.629 --> 00:10:19.429 it feels off against today's standards. Under 00:10:19.429 --> 00:10:22.269 showrunner Aseem Bhattra, new characters are 00:10:22.269 --> 00:10:24.809 introduced, yet they fail to match the charm 00:10:24.809 --> 00:10:28.309 of the original cast.

And he said, 00:10:56.220 --> 00:10:58.860 freedom is something that dies unless it is used. 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.840 And that's a wrap for this morning.
