A new study, summarized in IEEE from the publication of sciencemag.org. That shows that artificial intelligence software can solve CAPTCHAs by copying how human vision works.
CAPTCHAs are designed to see if users are human, often to prevent bots from accessing computer services. And it is no longer considered valid if an algorithm can successfully solve it for at least 1 percent of the time. The new software, still under study, could solve CAPTCHAs at an accuracy rate of 66.6 percent, rendering them obsolete.
Artificial intelligence will kill the CAPTCHA
The Vicarious startup has created the Cortical Recursive Network (RCN). That is an artificial neural network that mimics brain functioning, where “artificial neurons” feed on data and work together to solve a problem such as text identification or recognition speaks. The newly designed system requires 300 times less training data. That is being able to generate models that can quickly recognize surfaces and contours. Also, that is to help identify images and objects, giving just a few examples.

It shows that we have to look for other ways. And in fact, the big companies have already moved a tab to stop using the classic “write the text that appears in the figure.”
