Is the hackpocalypse coming for your fridge?

A wave of fridge and freezer hacks in Europe could be a sign of something much bigger. Supermarket refrigeration systems in France, and freezers at a US Army base in Arizona, have reportedly been pushed to dangerously high temperatures, spoiling millions of euros’ worth of food. Thomas Germain and Jessica Maddox ask whether we’re heading for a “hackpocalypse”, a world where AI helps almost anyone find and exploit old security flaws, or whether the opposite idea, that AI will soon fix every weakness, is just as overhyped. Tom explains why a reporter who usually avoids security stories thinks this one matters to your daily life. Then it’s off to the classroom. Google says US schools can now switch off AI on student Chromebooks, but if they do, kids will lose access to Google Search. Google says the two are now too closely linked to separate - and the changes give schools more choice. Tom and Jess dig into why it's a controversial move, what it says about Google's grip on American schools, and what it could mean for Big Tech at a time when the public is losing patience with AI. Along the way they ask whether AI in education is a way to help a struggling kid or a shortcut to cheating, and who gets to decide. The Interface is your weekly guide to the tech rewiring your week and your world. Hosted by journalist Thomas Germain and “professor of the internet” Jessica Maddox, each episode unpacks, week by week, how technology is shaping all our futures. No jargon. Just two sharp voices debating the stories that matter - whether they shook a government, broke the internet, or quietly tipped the balance of power. New episodes drop every Wednesday on BBC Sounds in the UK. Outside the UK, find us on BBC.com or wherever you get your podcasts, or watch the video version on YouTube (search “The Interface podcast”).
