According to SAEDNEWS: Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and continuously improve themselves with the data they collect. This term applies to any machine that possesses human-like qualities such as learning and problem-solving. In short, AI gives machines the ability to think and learn; a technology that, by making machines smarter, increases the speed of tasks and reduces human error in industries.

This technology has many fascinating applications, one of which is in the field of archaeology. It leverages AI's ability to analyze large amounts of data in a short time and uncover hidden patterns, helping to decode history.

From assisting in recovering ancient texts to translating extinct languages, restoring damaged artifacts, or uncovering hidden patterns, AI is becoming an important tool for archaeologists and historians, helping them bring history to life.
