If we don’t have AGI at the level of diamondoid nanotech bacteria, it may be possible to reliably identify humans using some kind of physical smart card system requiring frequent or continuous re-authentication via biometric sensors, similar to breathalyzers / ignition interlock devices installed in the cars of DUI offenders.
Not the most practical or non-invasive method that could be deployed for online services, but it is fairly secure if you’re in a lab trying to keep an AGI in a box.
As for online solutions not requiring new hardware, recently I had to take a “video selfie” on my phone matching a scan of my driver’s license for id.me as part of my unemployment benefits application. I’m fairly certain this could be fooled, but that’s how our government is handling it now.
‘identify humans using some kind of physical smart card system requiring frequent or continuous re-authentication via biometric sensors’
This is a really fascinating concept. Maybe the captcha could work in a way like “make a cricle with your index finger” or some other strange movement, and the chip would use that data to somehow verify that the action was done. If no motion is required I guess you could simply store the data outputted at one point and reuse it? Or the hacker using their own smart chip to authenticate them without them actually having to do something...
Deepfakes are still detectable using AI, especially if you do complicated motions like putting your hand on your face, or talk (which also gives us sound to work with).
