Unraveling history’s enigmas with AI and robotics in archaeology
5Archaeology offers a captivating glimpse into our past, though expeditions within this field frequently encounter challenges such as accessing fragile sites, conducting precise excavations, and preserving delicate relics. \n\nThe integration of robotics in archaeology marks a remarkable advancement in unlocking the secrets of our ancient past. By providing precision, preservation, and access to hard-to-reach sites, robots empower archaeologists to explore history’s mysteries with unprecedented accuracy. Furthermore, AI can facilitate the reading of millennia-old texts, predicts potential archaeological sites, and reconstructs ancient cities, landscapes, and artifacts, enhancing our understanding and visualization of the ancient world. \n\nAs we harness the potential of robotics and AI in archaeological research, we safeguard our cultural heritage, connect with our shared history, and inspire future generations to appreciate the importance of preserving and learning from our past. Ahead of the International Archeology Day on October 21, explore the revolutionary role of AI and robotics in archaeology, uncovering how they enable us to unravel the mysteries of ancient civilizations while preserving our cultural heritage for generations to come. \n\nSpeakers:\nThea Sommerschield\nLeverhulme Fellow\nUniversity of Nottingham\n\nYannis Assael\nStaff Research Scientist\nGoogle DeepMind\n\nIris Kramer\nFounder\nArchAI\n\nAlex Brandsen\nPostdoctoral Researcher\nLeiden University\n\nTuna Kalaycı\nAssistant Professor of Computational Archaeology\nLeiden University\n\nModerators:\nPaul Zimmerman\nField archaeologist\nUniversity of Pennsylvania Museum\n\n\nThe AI for Good Global Summit is the leading action-oriented United Nations platform promoting AI to advance health, climate, gender, inclusive prosperity, sustainable infrastructure, and other global development priorities.
