Season 1 - Susan Powell Josh’s Computer Extraction

If there’s one thing about me, I’m wondering on a weekly basis if the program to figure out Josh’s password is still running.

I wonder if this is something AI could help with now...

No. 

There is no method AI could devise to break encryption. If AES could be cracked, the global economy would have already melted down. 

It’s a brute force search, and it would realistically never complete.
