AI Aids in Filling Historical Voids, Starting with Ancient Rome


goes the adage we’ve all encountered and rephrased in various ways when discussing the past, present situations, and even personal issues. Perhaps the most effective way to grasp, interpret, and subsequently recall the past is right in front of us, as more sophisticated artificial intelligence can assist researchers in discovering answers to previously unresolvable inquiries about history.

For instance, an AI model was instrumental in aiding scientists in identifying the authors of the Bible. The technology does not pinpoint the actual authors, but the AI facilitated the evidence that certain sections of the Bible are attributed to a particular group of writers. In another instance, a distinct team of researchers successfully analyzed a charred scroll from ancient Rome utilizing X-ray imaging alongside AI.

Currently, a new research study incorporating AI reveals that artificial intelligence can assist scholars in deciphering inscriptions from ancient Rome by filling in missing portions and even assessing the probable era of an inscription’s origin.
