"Researchers used artificial intelligence to decipher the text of 2,000-year-old charred papyrus scripts, unveiling musings on music and capers." https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00346-8 #Research #Archaeology #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #Archaeodons @ai @archaeodons
@bibliolater @ai @archaeodons this is a
wonderful example of using AI for good. but we should be clear that the AI did not decipher some code/language that humans could not… it was used to allow humans to read some of what was written in previously unreadable text (due to serious physical degradation from burning). the AI had no understanding of the text.
