Research shows AI bots beat CAPTCHA and humans
Now, a
research paper (pdf) published last month that has yet to be peer reviewed indicates that AI-automated attacks on various CAPTCHA schemes have been successful. The study, conducted by a group of researchers including three from the University of California, Irvine, one from ETH Zurich, one from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and one from Microsoft, showed that AI bots are now
better than humans at decoding the CAPTCHAs. They even create an impression of humans being more robots than the bots that the CAPTCHAs try to keep out. And they even do it much faster.
