AI Beats Google’s reCAPTCHAv2, Sam Altman Proposes Eye-Scanning for Human Verification

Oct 24, 2024, 07:44 AM

CAPTCHA tests, which have long been used to distinguish humans from bots, may soon become obsolete. Researchers have developed an AI capable of solving CAPTCHA tests with 100% accuracy, outperforming Google's reCAPTCHAv2 in recognizing objects such as bikes, buses, and stairs. This development poses a significant challenge for online security, as CAPTCHAs have been a critical tool in preventing automated access to websites. Sam Altman has proposed a new method to verify human identity by scanning eyes, which could potentially replace traditional CAPTCHA tests. This shift highlights the evolving landscape of online authentication and the ongoing battle between human verification and AI capabilities.
