Almost every day there is a new news about some disturbing aspect of Artificial Intelligence and its potentially dangerous advances, but artificial intelligences also give us positive news because used for good, used for the benefit of humanity, they can be a Fabulous tool to help us. in our day to day or in the case to help us decipher the mysteries of the past.


Well, a team of researchers from the University of Tel avite in Israel, have created an artificial intelligence capable of translating Acadian texts from cuneiform into English, which is one of the oldest known languages with more than 5,000 years old.


The Akkadian is a successor to the Sumerian, with it it shares the cuneiform technique, which consists of a way of writing on wet clay tablets in which a sharp reed creates wedge-shaped marks, hence the name of wedge-shaped cuneiform writing. .

Hundreds of thousands of clay tablets have been found in that language, tablets that tell about the political, social, religious, economic, and scientific history of ancient Mesopotamia, yet we still don't know what most of those tablets say.


The problem is that there are very few experts who can read them, and the translation work can be slow and complex, Akkadian was not a standard language, it had its variants and a long history, imagine the variants of Spanish that exist today and the difference between the Spanish of today and that of 400 years ago, because with Akkadian something similar happened in each city, they had their variants and it is a language whose history and evolution spans almost 3000 years, therefore deciphering each tablet is a challenge.


Now with artificial intelligence it will now be much easier and this opens up the possibility of discovering the mysteries of the Mesopotamian world.
