The Captcha Puzzles We Solve Daily Are Used To Train Artificial Intelligence
Oscar Infanzon

Even if it doesn't seem like it, you contribute to the improvement of many AI programs every day thanks to your online responses. Many websites use this machine learning mechanism to take advantage of society's multiple interactions with the Internet.

Whether it's an online survey, an alphabet puzzle, or a captcha image, you're helping to train a program that learns from your decisions to recognize and classify real-world objects.

These puzzles appear on most online sites and programs we use today. They are not a big problem for humans and often take only seconds to solve. Often these puzzles are based on choosing the same pattern as if it were a game, or choosing a picture in which the car appears.

The more we interact with these programs, the more data we enter into their knowledge bases. Millions of these data are processed every second thanks to users' contributions.

Many companies use these results to train their Artificial Intelligence models and create many of the fun applications available to us. Some examples of these applications are image editing programs. Some programs allow you to remove a specific object from the photo if it is detected. We can also find programs that apply filters to our photos to make our social media posts look more creative. Now you know how it works.

From today, you will realize the importance of the digital crosswords that we solve every day. I hope you can help us improve our future and to obtain computers that are increasingly great and capable of understanding our environment.
