Chris started blogging about tech by accident when he figured out his passion for consumer electronics, especially mobile devices, and telling stories could be intertwined.
we've all heard and paraphrased one way or another when talking about the past, current events, and even personal matters. Maybe the best way to understand, interpret, and then remember the past is before us, as more advanced artificial intelligence can help scholars figure out answers to previously unanswerable questions about the past.. The technology can't identify the actual writers, but the AI helped prove that certain parts of the Bible belong to a specific group of writers.
That sounds great in theory, but in practice, it's a different story. Scrolls burn and stones get torn to pieces, turning historians into scholars that need to put together a puzzle that lacks many pieces. They then have to infer what the writing was about by guessing what the missing parts would have said. It's like receiving parts of a text message, and then trying to figure out what the sender wanted to say.
But the team behind the AI system actually tested Aeneas to see if it works as intended. They went to Ankara in Turkey at the Temple of Augustus, tasking the AI model to date a famous Roman text. The BBC points out that the location is known as"the queen of inscriptions" for understanding Roman history. The"Res Gestae Divi Augusti" inscription was composed by the first Roman Emperor Augustus, but historians can't agree on the date it was inscribed.
The researchers put the AI to work, and Aeneas concluded that the inscription came from two possible periods. The most likely range was 10 to 20 CE, while the second was 10 to 1 BCE. Most historians agree these are the most likely windows for Augustus' writings. The researchers then paired Aeneas with 23 historians to see whether the AI system could improve their productivity. They found that Aeneas was able to accelerate the work of real humans, allowing them to find parallels faster and discover new connections they hadn't thought of. Also, a historian using Aeneas AI came up with more accurate results than either Aeneas on its own or the human working alone.
