At its best, AI is a tool, not an end result. It allows people to do their jobs better, rather than sending them or their colleagues to the breadline. In an example of "the good kind," Google DeepMind has created an AI model that restores and contextualizes ancient inscriptions. Aeneas (no, it's not pronounced like that) is named after the hero in Roman mythology. Best of all, the tool is open-source and free to use.<br /> Ancient Romans left behind a plethora of inscriptions. But these texts are often fragmented, weathered or defaced. Rebuilding the missing pieces is a grueling task that requires contextual cues. An algorithm that can pore over a dataset of those cues can come in handy.<br /> Aeneas speeds up one of historians' most difficult tasks: identif [...]
A new AI model called Aeneas is designed to help historians restore, date, and contextualize fragmented ancient texts more quickly. Developed in collaboration with several universities, the project wa [...]
