Scientists Use AI Techniques to Date Human Remains

#artificialintelligence

An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has created a method that can precisely date up to ten thousand-year-old human remains by examining DNA with the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Mapping human migration patterns throughout history depends on being able to date ancient humans properly. Radiocarbon dating has been the accepted dating technique since the 1950s. The approach, which is based on the ratio between two distinct carbon isotopes, has completely changed archaeology. However, the technology is not always 100% accurate, making it challenging to trace historical people, their movements, and their relationships.
