FAQs

How does CAPTCHA know I'm not a robot? ›

The latest versions of reCAPTCHA are able to take a holistic look at a user's behavior and history of interacting with content on the Internet. Most of the time, the program can decide based on those factors whether or not the user is a bot, without providing the user with a challenge to complete.

Bloomberg today announced the availability of AI-Powered Earnings Call Summaries on the Bloomberg Terminal®, which uses the pragmatic application of artificial intelligence (AI) to help analysts with their research process.

The “I'm not a robot” checkbox is a CAPTCHA, or a “Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart.” Essentially any type of test, whether it's selecting the image with stoplights or typing out a word that's blurry, is a CAPTCHA, which is used to stop bots.

Based on whether or not you got the distorted one right along with other peoples' submissions for the CAPTCHA, it can tell whether or not your CAPTCHA entry is correct. Also, these days, there might be some component of image recognition implemented.

Google interprets that your IP address / device sends multiple search requests at the same time (this creates a suspicious effect on the search engine). With CAPTCHA, Google makes sure that you are not a robot or a computer program that sends multiple requests for search or spam.

The click isn't the test; the test comes before the click, like how your mouse moves toward that box. Google tracks that kind of thing. The cursor, controlled by a robot, moves in a suspiciously straight line at a constant speed, whereas your mouse movements are more human-like.
