New artificial intelligence (AI) system to crack CAPTCHA's main feature and its objective
The Scientists development new artificial intelligence (AI) system to crack CAPTCHA, the software that was created to prevent bots from accessing websites.
CAPTCHA main aims to challenge people to prove that they are human by recognizing combinations of letters and numbers that machines would struggle to complete correctly.
It requires users to type in text that has been destroyed –a task deemed easy enough for humans, but impossible for bots.
The team at Vicarious artificial intelligence (AI) also used a neural network, but they added something new – recursion, a software technique whereby data is used to learn something new.
According to researchers, this process is used over and over until a solution is reached. It is a technique that has long been used to solve mazes.
By applying recursion to a neural network, the researchers found they were able to reduce the learning curve of their software dramatically.
The system needed just five training steps, for example, to crack Google’s reCAPTCHA 67% of the time.
