So I take it this happens to you. You go on a website, especially to buy or sell something. But they give you a math problem or question to answer. It’s because they want to prove you’re human. They call the program Think fast: Trying to outsmart robots.
As you know, many are people are turning to facial recognition for security. They’re using it everywhere, from airports to new smartphones. In fact, facial recognition is the only way to unlock the iPhone X. But some researchers and experts say that’s not enough. They say this because robots and AI technologies are getting smarter and smarter.
So they come up with a way to recognize your face while you answer a simple question at the same time. Georgia Tech U. researchers still try to perfect this. Believe it or not, even with 2018 IT support, it’s tough? for face and voice recognition to align. However, there are many human vs robot tests out there. As early as the 2000s, you had websites asking you to type in a code or answer a math problem. However, it’s a different world know. Everyone in computer repair knows it. In fact, everyone everywhere knows it.
So I love this test Think Fast did. They asked a question. It took humans about a second to answer. Then, it took robots/computers about six seconds to answer. These were simple, like “Do you like cats or dogs?”. Right now, the goal is to fight spam, hacking and ID theft. But as bots and AI get smarter and smarter, the fight could be so much more critical. I hate to sound like a sci-fi movie, but we’ve seen what robots are doing. We also see how they’re permeating every aspect of life. Is this just an extra layer of protection? Or is this necessary in the fight against robot domination?
