Artificial intelligence (AI) becomes able to crack CAPTCHA security system
Scientists develop an innovative artificial intelligence (AI) method outsmarts CAPTCHA security system
Scientists have developed an innovative artificial intelligence (AI) system to crack CAPTCHA, the software that was created to prevent bots from accessing websites.
CAPTCHA's aims to challenge people to prove that they are human by recognizing combinations of letters and numbers that machines would struggle to complete correctly.
Researchers at Vicarious, a California-based artificial intelligence firm has come up with a modified neural network that could crack CAPRCHA after studying just a few examples.
The system is called a recursive cortical network, TechXplore reported. In a traditional neural network, nodes are created to hold new information-a network is built from the nodes and it is used to judge how to deal with new data.
Previously, several research teams have shown that defeating CAPTCHA was possible. They used neural networks to learn about a CAPTCHA, and then to foil systems that used them.
However, such methods required the system to crunch thousands of millions of examples to become reasonably proficient at cracking CAPTCHA.
