What’s the common name for a completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart?

The Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart, commonly known as Captchas, are the little assignments, like spotting all the boats in a picture or typing out some letters and numbers, that help keep bots out of websites. A new feature in Apple’s iOS 16 and the upcoming version of macOS, called “automatic verification,” will allow sites to verify that you are not a robot without “captchas.”
