How AI imagery could be used to develop fake archaeology

Summary

Nutrition label

85% Informative

AI imagery has already been used to illustrate popular articles, such as covering scientific discoveries about Neanderthals.

It was employed to animate the Mesolithic period (from about 9,000 to 4,300 years ago ) TikTok users have adopted it to make realistic short videos about archaeology and history.

But there are many issues with using AI imagery in archaeology, including the violation of intellectual property.

Archaeologists and non-specialists are able to leverage generative AI to creatively produce interpretive media. Indeed, some archaeologists are already exploring AI to generate hypotheses about ancient life. And we are teaching critical uses of AI to our archaeology students. But what remains imperative is that archaeologists engage with and critique all visualizations—both those created by generative AI and using other media. Provided by The Conversation.
