Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming a serious concern for researchers, but on the other hand, it is attracting everyone with its potential. Now, in a new report, researchers have claimed that an AI tool can detect passwords or patterns from the sound of your typing keyboard. For this, the researchers have also prepared a learning model. Its accuracy is rated up to 95 percent. In very simple language, the researchers have bought trouble for themselves.
BleepingComputer has said in its report that these researchers from the British University have designed an AI model to recognize sound to understand keystrokes from the microphone of a laptop or PC. During the research, the algorithms were used on apps such as Zoom and Skype, where the accuracy rates have been up to 93 percent and 91.7 percent respectively. This learning model can be used by hackers to hack people's systems and steal data.
During the research, 36 keys were pressed 25 times on an Apple MacBook, which helped them capture data to train the AI model. He used an iPhone 13 mini to receive audio from keystrokes held 17cm away from the MacBook.
They used the sound data to train an image classifier called CoAtNet that was able to predict keypresses based on the recorded voice. Concerns are being raised about this AI model that it can be secretly installed on any site or someone's laptop and after that, it can record everything that you type based on the sound of the keyboard.
