Machine learning and AI may be deployed on such grand tasks as finding exoplanets and creating photorealistic people, but the same techniques also have some surprising applications in academia: DeepMind has created an AI system that helps scholars understand and recreate fragmentary ancient Greek texts on broken stone tablets. These clay, stone, or metal tablets, inscribed as much as 2,700 years ago, are invaluable primary sources for history, literature, and anthropology.
