AI for Ancient Studies
- AI is impacting studies of the ancient world, like translating lost languages and studying ancient games.
- Researchers use AI to decipher Linear B, a lost language, by utilizing similarities between languages.
AI-Driven Game Archaeology
- Researchers are using AI to study ancient games found in medieval manuscripts.
- They use computer vision and evolutionary algorithms to understand game evolution and generate new games.
DeepMind's AlphaStar
- DeepMind's AlphaStar plays StarCraft II anonymously with human-like limitations.
- It uses a limited camera view and restricted actions, making it harder to distinguish from human players.
