Google DeepMind has unveiled an artificial intelligence tool named Aeneas that promises to transform how historians study ancient Roman inscriptions. Named after the mythical Trojan hero, this revolutionary AI system can predict missing words in damaged Latin texts, determine where and when inscriptions were created, and identify historical connections between different texts across the Roman Empire, reports The Guardian. The tool could be a leap in digital archaeology, offering historians capabilities that would traditionally require decades of specialized knowledge to develop. Developed through collaboration between Google DeepMind and Dr. Thea Sommerschield at the University of Nottingham, Aeneas was trained on an enormous database of nearly 200,000 known Roman inscriptions containing 16 million characters.
