Beijing: Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing education, especially in Chinese universities, where it’s even impacting art students’ futures. According to a report by China Global Television Network (CGTN), AI is proving to be a valuable tool in archaeology, helping researchers quickly and efficiently locate relevant data.
Patterns on ancient artifacts provide valuable insights into cultural evolution over time. Previously, archaeologists spent years gathering and analyzing data to correlate patterns with cultural changes. Now, thanks to AI, these results are available almost instantly.
While AI has been used in archaeological research for some time, it’s now becoming more accessible to students and early-career researchers. Zhang Hai, president of the School of Archaeology and Museology at Peking University, emphasizes the need for exploration to develop systematic AI content for classes.
