This scary AI recognizes passwords by the sound of your typing::British researchers have trained an artificial intelligence to recognize keystrokes by sound. A smartphone placed near a laptop served as the microphone.

"As a defense measure, the researchers recommend that users use the ten-finger system when typing. In this case, the recognition rate of individual keys dropped significantly."

Lmao. If you know how to type, then it doesn't work.

This system also depends on the AI being trained on a particular keyboard. It's probably not gonna work if you use a non MacBook computer.

I was wondering how it would be able to tell what keyboard someone is using like I switch between Dvorak and Qwerty all the time ( I can only type properly in Dvorak though ).
