Using AI apps to find Nasca geoglyphs

Technology@kbin.social – 9 points – 1 years ago

A team of archaeologists from Yamagata University, IBM Japan and Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne used an artificial intelligence application to locate previously unknown Nasca geoglyphs. In their study, reported in Journal of Archaeological Science, the group used a variety of data sources to teach an AI app.

The researchers suggest that their approach can be refined to aid in finding more geoglyphs in the region and modified for use in other archaeological image searching applications.

I think this is a good example how AI will supplement a lot of our work, instead headlines calling of the end of the human race.
