Code breaking of bletchley park, the gadgets used to conceal cold war secrets and how we can protect ourselves now on line. This exhibition at Londons Science Museum marks a century of gchq making our nation a safer place. Protecting sensitive communication from hacking is nothing new. No matter what the technology of the age is. Here we have a telephone used by Winston Churchill in world war ii. Its called the secret phone and comes with a complete large privacy unit. Inside it, electronic circuits are scrambling both incoming and outgoing calls and then some years on, Margaret Thatcher used this secure briefcase telephone every day. The passcodes on it were changed to protect the encrypted calls. Hacking and cybercrime are of course regularly hitting the headlines now. Countries and companies around the globe are desperately trying to find ways to avoid filing the gym. This month falling victim. This month, the saudi Cyber Division hosted its first ever Cyber Security forum and click was provided with a rare invitation to saudi arabia to take a look at what the country has been working on but with accusations that the regime has been carrying out campaigns of hacking against critics and journalists, we want to know, can the saudis be trusted in cyberspace . Can the saudis be trusted in oe can the saudis be trusted in cyberspace . Joe tidy, the bbcs cyberspace . Joe tidy, the bbcs Cyber Security reporter, has been finding out. Its a country famous for its endless golden sands and vast riches built on one natural resource, oil. But as the world begins to wean itself of this valuable fossil fuel, its forcing a monumental shift in the sands. Saudi arabia is a country on the move. Things are changing here so rapidly in the way people live and work. The countries trying to diversify its away from just oil and this is a big pa rt away from just oil and this is a big part of it. This is digital city. A couple of years ago, these buildings werent here. This is part of the countrys drive to move into technologies and particularly Cyber Security. There are big ambitions here to create household names in Information Security and across riyadh, another sign of intent. This place is amazing. Its like Buckingham Palace with palm trees. The first time ever, the government is hosting a global Cyber Security forum by throwing open the doors to foreign visitors, saudi arabia is inviting investment, collaboration and scrutiny. Whats funny about this conference, this Cyber Security conference, its not a conference, its a forum. There are no stands. We dont know who is here, which companies but thats not to say the right companies here. There are companies from all over the world. People are chatting, introductions are being made. It predicted the saudi Cyber Security market could grow to 5. 5 billion by 2023 but there is another motivation. A devastating attack but the country is still reeling from. The 2012 shipping attack was a massive moment. It was the moment when tens of thousands of pcs at the countrys biggest company, saudi aramco, the worldss biggest oil producer, went down. They were hit by a virus, which is the name implies, it deletes all the files on all the computers where its infected. Imagine if you will, its a bit like someone imagine if you will, its a bit like someone breaking into your house, they steal everything but they burn your house on the way out. The hack, which has been blamed on iran, took out 30,000 pcs. This spread got into the company by someone receiving an email and they double clicked on the attachment. From a simple perspective, it really turned the dynamic on its head. We were thinking about the stereotypical, you think about some genius in a basement somewhere using all these commands where is actually now what we see is very, very simple, its an email that comes through, there is a link in there and as long as you can trick the person into clicking the link or opening the file, you can have a very, very big impact. Since then, the country has been under almost constant attack. No wonder the country is on a mission to improve its Cyber Defence and encourage local talent to flourish. Saudi arabia was ranked 47 among 179 countries according to the itu, international to the communications union, and the un. Throughout the last couple of years, the ranking has increased to be 13 globally. So we have seen saudi actually increasing the ranking, in a sense, because the ranking is directly linked to the level of commitment, the level of effort that country is putting into cyber. And here is one where the countries to rise further the ranks. This is a hacker Training Exercise run by site, a government backed Cyber Security company. The teams are trying to capture a digital flag teams are trying to capture a digitalflag inside a teams are trying to capture a digital flag inside a secure server. So you are basically pretending to be hackers, you are. We are hackers. To break into the system. We log into the system and try to find where is the catches. Capture the flag will make you challenge yourself, how could you pass the firewall, the login credentials and a lot of Cyber Security controls. Staying ahead of hackers is very tough, because technology advancement, the pace of technology advancement, the pace of technology advancement, is way fast, is way higher than the advancement we see in cyberspace. Amongst all the positivity here, and there is a lot of positivity, there is also an unspoken truth. Many of the people ive been speaking to, the international guests, i decided not to bring their devices, laptops and phones. This one isnt my usual phones. This one isnt my usual phone and the reason for that is that there is concern about potential surveillance. Last month, amazon boss jeff potential surveillance. Last month, amazon bossjeff bezos accused saudi arabias crown prince of packing his phone. He received the file via whats up, it was a video file and upon clicking that, opening that, that infected his bones with a backdoor and that allowed someone to siphon off all his data. The kingdoms says the allegation is absurd however according to the united nations, there is also strong indications that saudi arabia telephone of dissidentjournalists Jamal Khashoggi before he was killed in the Saudi Embassy in turkey in 2018. It all raises questions which i put to the countrys Cyber Division. How do you think saudi arabia will respond to issues of cyber surveillance . As i mentioned earlier, our main focus is thinking how we ensure that we defend and protect our Critical National infrastructure, putting the right measurement, whether it is standardisation, building our capabilities and also enhancing those Cyber Protection efforts. Saudi is clearly trying to move on from a comfortable uncomfortable allegations. The conference is a major part of this and the centrepiece of the event shows an emphasis again on defence, a game that puts players in the hot seat of an attack. So youre an it specialist and you are representing a petrochemical plant. So were going to go through the whole phase ofan going to go through the whole phase of an attack. So weve obviously got employees and they downloaded and files, malware. We need to stop more employees from downloading them. Correct. We are out of time oh, no. Saudi arabia is at a crossroads, its opening up to the world and its clea ra nce wa nts its opening up to the world and its clearance wants to be a big player on the Cyber Security stage. It would be naive to think that other nations dont hack the security for economic regions but an emerging force like saudi has to decide whether it wants to be a scene as a tea m whether it wants to be a scene as a team player or kept at arms length. Almost there. Hey. You take that. Well done. Here we go. There we go. Hello, and welcome to the week intact. It was the week huawei lost its challenging us court the band from adding Government Agencies working with the company. Apple warned disruption in china from the coronavirus would disrupt reduction of iphones. In the worlds richest person, jeff bezos, pledged 10 billion of his 130 billion fortune to help address climate change. In new jetpack news, it to help address climate change. In newjetpack news, it seems we are ever closer to a real life ironman. A team atjet man dubai reached a major milestone with a jet powered wing suit which took off from a standing start and then flew up to nearly 6000 feet in altitude and reached an average speed of 150 Miles Per Hour and yes, they landed. In underwear optional. From rockets to bangers. Have you ever had problems grilling the perfect hot dog . There is a robot for that. Jacob and baxter, great names, are Machine Learning robots developed by Boston University that are able to com plete Boston University that are able to complete a more public s task of cooking and setting up a good sausage. Cooking and setting up a good sausage. And finally, would you trust a d or drone . Researchers at University Art reverse engineering be brains to help create more advanced drone software. Tania let quote is inserted into the bees brains will analyse the flight parts to work out how they can reliably navigate a 3d environment over several kilometres. Unbelievable . Sorry. For over 30 years, several kilometres. Unbelievable . Sorry. For over30 years, London Fashion week is what the latest trends and streetwear and couture to the capital. Whether spring orfall collections, it follows the same format. Catwalk shows from designers pppin9 format. Catwalk shows from designers ppping up format. Catwalk shows from designers popping up all over the city. But in the near future, the popping up all over the city. But in the nearfuture, the catwalk popping up all over the city. But in the near future, the catwalk could look completely different. The idea of gathering together to look at seasonal trends could be obsolete. Like many other industries, Artificial Intelligence is shaping the future of fashion. The designs, models and even the location of fashion week could one day be created by a computer programme. Fashion week could one day be created by a computer programmem is possible to generate this kind of captions with al algorithm. A new course at the London College of fashion is looking at detail in detail at these issues, giving future designers and merchandisers the tools to work on this new world, influencing everything from pattern cutting to design. So if you know this type of algorithm, you can just mine all over your database. These images were dreamt up by an algorithm that by tens of thousands of photos. So this is a computer thatis of photos. So this is a computer that is designing the stresses . Yes, so that is designing the stresses . Yes, so this is a Generative Adversarial Network that has been fed many thousands of images so it begins to learn what address looks like. Its incredible. And then design its own. So everyone of these is Computer Generated. So everyone of these is computergenerated. Slightly terrifying. And similarly, this is taking thousands of catwalk images from mens fashion week and beginning to understand what catwalk looks like, what a model looks like, what the close they are wearing looks like and generating its own catwalk images. Are these real models was to mark these are Computer Generated. 0h, models was to mark these are Computer Generated. Oh, well. So this person doesnt exist . No. It begins to question what we think are catwalk show could be. Could we get to the point in the future where are Computer Generated catwalk becomes as popular or as interesting as a physical catwalk . What do you think . Its not on the realms of impossibility. Indeed, the ideas and projects the students are walking on working on would once have seemed impossible but they are certain the whole industry will soon change and having a background in al whole industry will soon change and having a background in ai will be essential to their success. In all the industries right now, its important to be able to cross collaborate, to be interdisciplinary andi collaborate, to be interdisciplinary and i think this is really important to have a knowledge of everything thatis to have a knowledge of everything that is coming up and how we can use that is coming up and how we can use that in fashion. So with al, we will have a much more ways and options. Like, instead of i do know sketching ten ideas, we could have thousands of them, you canjust select quickly what we find beneficial for our project. But others worry about losing originality in this process. I think the danger is stripping out creativity because in many ways, that argument that designers create something from their brain, its not been done before but a looks at everything thats been done before and create something new so i think theres this, like, paradox. Does it mean that we will end up repeating the same things over and over or does it mean we will be given new ways to create . In fact, the ai may end up being more creative than humans because it can process so many more images than we are capable of seeing. The course is also preparing students forjob losses in their industry to Artificial Intelligence, especially in areas like pattern cutting and other repetitive work. This really is something you cant deny. It is coming and we need to be prepared for it. Maybe these people can be educated in some sort of position where they will be using this a to do thisjob but where they will be using this a to do this job but if it is something repetitive, it can be automatised, it will be autumn eyes. Next experiment will be feeding this algorithm photos architecture as well as the clothing to see what fashion designs it comes up with. An exciting time for those able to adapt but with implications for workers around the world, perhaps a need to think quickly about the direction of this important industry. That wasjen. That was jen. Now that wasjen. Now over 2 billion people on the planet dont have access to clean water. For over half of them, it would take at least 30 minutes to reach any. So nick has been found out how this safe water could be created out of an air, literally. Access to clean water is a human right, yet over half a billion people die each year from drinking contaminated water. According to the world health 0rganization, according to the World Health Organization, in only five years time, half of us will live in a water stress area. 50 for answers . Ive come to South Yorkshire to see a start up with a novel solution. This company is harvesting water from then. Water is extracted from the bottom of the evaporator, collected in the tray and pumped out for you. Collected in the tray and pumped out foryou. 0k, collected in the tray and pumped out for you. Ok, its a collected in the tray and pumped out foryou. Ok, its a giant dehumidifier, but the game changer here is that artificially intelligent devices adaptability. When you take what is the real temperature, what is the real pressure, the real humidity, the system will further refine its control to make that the best way to operate. Keeping costs down is crucial, so using the least amount of energy possible is key to stopping the way this works is air comes down through here, gets sucked in through the evaporator which pulls moisture out of the air stopping the water then drips down into the water tray and the byproduct, which is cold air, gets sucked through there which could be used for air conditioning in the summer, and another byproduct is heat generated through the condenser, which could be used to heat homes in the winter or wherever it may be used. Shall be given to taste . It may be used. Shall be given to taste . Well, why not . There we are, water from taste . Well, why not . There we are, waterfrom thin air. Taste . Well, why not . There we are, water from thin air. It does have an essence of machine about it. It does have a somewhat metallic. I mean, if they were to lick that machine, a kind of feel that thats what that tastes like. Yum, yum. But im assured after few gallons circular machine, it tastes a lot at and makes a banging through. They have also developed a more mobile version targeted for the military. There are two systems built in for redundancy so that if one goes there a backup option. We know of some customers in the middle east who are shipping Drinking Water by helicopter. The cost of shipping Drinking Water by helicopter is 35 per litre. But dereks units of course come with a pricetag. 5,000 up to 100,000, depending on the size and type of machine. They can usually recoup it within two years. Other atmospheric water generators are already making waves. 0ver water generators are already making waves. Over in the states, arizona based zero mass users solar energy to power its water harvesting device, and hogen systems say its next generation will too. But what we could get power itself from thin air . Researchers at mit have devised air . Researchers at mit have devised a cunning contraption that they have ppped a cunning contraption that they have popped on the roof. The thermal resonator converts the changes in ambient temperature into electricity. There is a flow of heat co nsta ntly electricity. There is a flow of heat constantly going through the device and we have what are called thermoelectric is inside that turned that heat into electricity. So this device, just from sitting on the environment, will generate electrical power. Min
