The British Museum plans to digitize its entire collection following the theft of 2,000 artefacts. The museum aims to prevent future thefts by implementing this measure. In addition, a computer science student has used AI to decipher an ancient Greek term from a 2,000-year-old scroll, raising the possibility of unearthing more classical texts. The technology used in this breakthrough could potentially revolutionize the study of ancient texts.
AI deciphered text on these ancient fossilized scrolls that we could NEVER understand (until now). Here's what it said 😱 https://t.co/MqM0jz2bl3
