Google's AI Reads Ancient Ruins

Google DeepMind Unveils Aeneas: AI That Helps Historians Decode Ancient Texts

Google DeepMind has introduced Aeneas, a powerful AI tool that helps historians restore, date, and understand broken Latin inscriptions from the Roman Empire.

• Aeneas scans and analyzes both images and text, matching them to a huge database of 176,000 ancient writings.

• It can guess the origin, date, and missing words with high accuracy, 72% for location, 73% for restoration, and dates within 13 years.

• In tests, 23 historians said it improved their work, with 90% finding its suggestions useful and confidence rising by 44%.

AI like Aeneas is starting to unlock lost parts of human history. By expanding to more languages and cultures, it could help us recover stories, records, and knowledge that were thought to be lost forever.
