The CAPTCHA you are seeing I don't believe is one of the new <BR>ones that have
been talked about. First, the one that says I am not <BR>a robot has been
around a while, and the article says the new one is "hidden."<BR><BR>I could be
wrong, but we might want to be sure before we start <BR>accusing people of bad
stuff!<BR><BR><BR><BR>Dave<BR><BR>At 11:47 AM 3/18/2017, Tracy Carcione via

Death<BR>><BR>>CAPTCHA's are an irritating but necessary evil. The system
that is used to<BR>>verify whether or not a user is human has been around a
while and it had to<BR>>evolve because machines were getting better at
reading the text than humans.<BR>>With its latest iteration, Google says
you'll no longer have to input<BR>>anything at all.<BR>><BR>>Invisible
CAPTCHA's are the latest development in the "Completely Automated<BR>>Public
Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart." Google
acquired<BR>>reCaptcha back in 2009.<BR>>It updated the system in 2013 to
allow for the ubiquitous "I'm not a robot"<BR>>checkbox that's all over the
internet. That version worked by determining<BR>>the user's humanity through
their clicking style. If the click seemed fishy,<BR>>a more elaborate test
would be offered. But the Invisible CAPTCHA is able to<BR>>recognize that a
user is not a bot simply by analyzing their
browsing<BR>>behavior.<BR>><BR>>In a video, the company explained
"Powering these advances is a combination<BR>>of machine learning and
advanced risk analysis that adapt to new and<BR>>emerging threats." But
what's in it for Google?<BR>><BR>>When the search giant initially bought
reCaptcha it was actually for the<BR>>purpose of integrating it into its
giant book scanning project. The<BR>>technology was great for digitizing
books that were illegible to Google's<BR>>transcription system. But its
unclear what Google gains by continuing to<BR>>improve the
software.<BR>><BR>> Shuman Ghosemajumder, a former Google
employee tells Popular Science,<BR>>"Google in general-and this is certainly
a philosophy that we adhered to<BR>>when I was there-believed that anything
that is good for the internet, is<BR>>good for Google." In this case, a "more
frictionless" internet is good for<BR>>everybody. But don't count out the
possibility that Google is improving its<BR>>machine learning capabilities
through your behaviors. And Ghosemajumder<BR>>points out that Google knows
about the past behavior of users when they're<BR>>logged in, which would make
the system more accurate. That could be a small<BR>>incentive for some people
to ensure they log
in.<BR>><BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Njtechdiv
