No, I'm not a robot: goodbye to the hateful 'captchas' on Google

No, I'm not a robot: goodbye to the hateful 'captchas' on Google

Tired of having to tell Google that you are not a robot every time you identify yourself on a web? The search engine has just announced that it will remove the famous reCaptcha, the tool that prevents bots from accessing web pages. It has just announced the search engine in a note that has hung in which has unveiled a new system, "invisible" for humans, and that will work in the background. How? No further details are known.
According to the search engine, this new tool will work in a hidden way while we browse the network and analyze our behavior to determine whether we are human or not. In other words, it is going to end once and for all with those annoying boxes that had to be marked, at best, or with the questions that forced us to write a few numbers or to indicate which photos of a gallery corresponded with a definition.
But the 'captcha' does not disappear altogether: if the Google tool suspects that we are dealing with a bot, it will ask us to solve some problem to let us access a web page. Google has offered no further details, beyond that it will be much less invasive for the user but much more complicated for robots than trying to access information sources.
Why has not more information been provided? Google does not want to give more details to prevent bots from skipping the system. Now, thanks to a mix of "machine learning" and advanced risk analysis that adapts to new and emerging threats, "the system will be able to discern better if the person in front of the keyboard is human.
The famous 'captchas' of Google are a tool that has allowed the searcher to advance in different tasks with the help of Internet users from all over the world. Each time the system presented words that had to be written correctly what the user was with was a portion of text that the systems of digitization of books could not solve.
The old 'captchas' allowed Google's artificial intelligence to recognize text, numbers or images collected by the network
A similar phenomenon occurred with the numbers, usually associated with portals in the street, which were nothing more than Street View images that the search engine's artificial intelligence had not been able to decipher. In the case of sets of images that should be marked, it is a way to teach Google to recognize photos of kittens from all the immensity of images that populate the network.
