RARELY DOES a month pass without a new AI system hitting the news, with the tech labeled as forward-looking, autonomous, and poised to improve our futures. What we don’t often hear about is the increasing utilization of AI to examine our pasts.
Historians, archaeologists, musicians, and data scientists are deploying AI technologies to reimagine and re-create historical moments. We’ll explore the immense human challenges in getting the best results from AI machines, and, as you’ll discover, there’s no magic bullet computing at work.
Like so many tales from the evolution of modern computing, success with AI is grounded in the values of collaboration, opportunity, and experimentation. The challenges our experts face require distinct technical solutions while sharing striking amounts of commonality.
We’ll look at the bias and ethics of restorative AI and consider how we should interpret and categorize such works. We’ll also consider a timeline of AI, stopping at points between the modern day and the ancient world, hearing from people who have used AI to expand our perspective of historical events, enhance familiar sights and sounds, and even rewrite the history books. AI is already changing our perceptions of the past. Welcome to reality.
Filling in the gaps
Jonathan Prag is a professor of ancient history at Oxford University in the United Kingdom and has always had a passion for computing. “I got into mapping and visual analysis, which led to trying to build a digital catalog of all the inscriptions from ancient Sicily,” he says.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.

The new Zen 5 CPUs are here—time to benchmark!
