Artificial intelligence has made significant strides in 2024, particularly in decoding the Herculaneum scrolls, which were carbonized during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Researchers utilized AI and high-resolution X-rays to reveal over 2,000 characters from these ancient texts, providing unprecedented insights into Roman and Greek history. The Vesuvius Challenge aims to unlock 90% of the scrolls by the end of 2024, showcasing AI's transformative role in archaeology and historical research.
AI's impact extends beyond ancient texts; it is also revolutionizing the understanding of animal communication and archaeological discoveries. For instance, machine learning has helped decode sperm whale vocalizations, revealing complex patterns akin to human phonetics. Additionally, AI models have accelerated the identification of geoglyphs in Peru's Nazca Desert, demonstrating the technology's potential in uncovering hidden historical artifacts.
