Gfi or Ground Fault Interrupter outlet work by detecting current flow. The outlets, which are intended for use in areas where dampness is possible or present such as bathrooms or utility rooms sense whether current is flowing to the ground leg of the circuit. If there is current going to ground, the GFI immediately pops its breaker to cut the current flow.
