Human ears edge out AI in audio CAPTCHA test but the gap is narrow
Humans still have the edge over AI in a focused audio CAPTCHA test, but the margin is uncomfortably thin, just 0.13 in word accuracy. In 18 sessions, people averaged 0.71 accuracy while the best model, Gemini with an explicit prompt, reached 0.54. No threshold came close to the ideal of humans above 80% and machines below 20%. The gap is too narrow for reliable security. Readers exploring how AI stumbles on nuanced tasks might also appreciate our piece on testing a browser agent's blind spots.
25 million in funding sharpens Modulate's focus on detecting deepfake scams

This isn't abstract theory, it's a response to real threats that already victimize real people. We've covered how one founder's personal story drove her to launch DetectifAI after a grandfather was scammed by a deepfake voice. Modulate's approach feels like the next logical step: putting AI to work guarding against the very dangers AI can create.
