Opinion With CAPTCHA toppled, it's time to rethink artificial intelligence

Regarding Vivek Wadhwa's Nov. 6 On I.T. column, "Artificial intelligence makes leap forward, cracks CAPTCHA" [Capital Business]: The world has been anticipating the positive and negative effects of AI for decades. Now, every heralded improvement to a computer program is some kind of overall improvement of AI, rather than just marketing hype. Programmers have been trying to break CAPTCHA for a long time. I suspect that a CAPTCHA 2.0 will be based on a three-dimensional model rather than the current two-dimensional model. In any case, I believe we would be better served if we redefined artificial intelligence into two categories, Programmed AI and Autonomous AI.
