Researchers using artificial intelligence have cracked Google's reCAPTCHAv2, indicating that AI can now solve CAPTCHA tests designed to distinguish humans from bots.

Swiss researchers used advanced AI to successfully bypass the CAPTCHA system with human-like accuracy, showing the vulnerability in these widely-used security systems.

As artificial intelligence advances, it overshadows the CAPTCHA's initial purpose to be solvable only by humans, as noted by Matthew Green from Johns Hopkins Information Security Institute.

Experts predict the automation of such AI processes to defeat CAPTCHA systems could emerge shortly. This technological leap could add complexity and inconvenience for users, underlined by the ongoing efforts of companies like Google to enhance CAPTCHA systems.

The continuous evolution of bot capabilities necessitates more intricate detection models to keep pace, commented Sandy Carielli from Forrester.

While alternatives to traditional CAPTCHA are being tested, the future of this technology remains uncertain, with concerns about its potential obsolescence and implications for internet security. #
