AI Analyzes DNA to Date Archeological Remains

#artificialintelligence

An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has developed a new method of analyzing DNA with artificial intelligence (AI) to accurately date up to ten-thousand year-old human remains. The new study was published in Cell Reports Methods. The new technique could help map how people migrated throughout history, which is often done by accurately dating ancient remains. Since the 1950s, the standard dating method has been radiocarbon dating. This dating method is based on the ratio between two different carbon isotopes, and it has played a huge role in modern archaeology.
