A German military encryption from 1918 that resisted cryptanalysts for over a century has finally been broken by artificial intelligence. The news, shared widely in French-speaking tech circles, highlights how modern AI solved a code that had stumped human experts for 108 years, with commenters marvelling that the machine cracked it as easily as a simple captcha.
Why now: The remarkable speed of AI solving a century-old code challenges long-held assumptions about the limits of both historical cryptography and machine intelligence.
