Google kills text-based Captcha security tool; launches AI-powered invisible reCAPTCHA

Search engine giant Google, in a bid to improve user-experience on the internet, has reportedly killed the web security tool Captcha and introduced a much-enhanced anti-bot feature reCAPTCHA. Google has been testing it under the program -- No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA -- for more than a year. Now, the company has officially introduced the reCAPTCHA with Artificial Intelligence (AI) with machine learning capability and which also performs advanced risk analysis in real-time. Previously, users had to go through the Captcha security process, and asked to spell out tricky characters or identify places/road signs in a box, which many found very irksome and time-consuming. Google then introduced beta-version of reCAPTCHA, where users were just asked to tick the checkbox with a question -- "I'm not a robot". Even this was found be a nuisance.
