Groundbreaking #AI project translates 5,000-year-old #cuneiform at push of a button
Cuneiform is the oldest known form of writing, but it is so difficult to read that only a few hundred experts around the world can decode the clay tablets filled with wedge-shaped symbols. Now, a team of archaeologists and computer scientists from Israel has created an AI-powered #translation program for ancient #Akkadian cuneiform, allowing tens of thousands of already digitized tablets to be translated into English instantaneously.
