Technology journalist Peter Griffin looks at NetSafe's new Re:Scam tool, which aims to turn the tables on cyber crooks. He'll explain how it uses ChatGPT to lure scammers into a time-wasting conversation with a fake person.

Chip maker Nvidia has surpassed Microsoft to become the world's most valuable company - but how long could it last? AI applications are driving demand for chips, but Peter talks about new research which suggests that could drop as businesses find it doesn't add as much value as expected.

And the US is taking on Adobe over subscriptions that are nearly impossible to cancel.
