Are You a Human?
Monday, February 11th
12:00pm- 1:00pm in room M218
Reid Tatoris, Co-Founder/COO, Are You A Human, AreYouAHuman.com
How a Detroit-based company is revolutionizing the internet and how you can turn your ideas into a reality.
Are You a Human came about as a solution to a very common problem with internet security being bypassed by computer programs, or bots. CAPTCHA solutions weren’t able to consistently stop automated attacks. Reid became part of a team that came up with a better solution, something complex enough to block the bots, yet simple and fun for actual people. They decided to use little games and after a few years of tinkering, Are You a Human was born.
