Google researcher discovers unmapped Maya site in Mexico using 48 AI agents — project takes less than 72 hours…
- AI agents have found what looks like an undiscovered Maya site
- The discovery came from a scan of LiDAR data collected by Mexico
- Experts are now investigating the site that the AI has flagged up
While some of AI's 'talents' — like putting together decent-looking restaurant menus — could legitimately be called into question, there's no doubt that these bots and agents excel at spotting patterns in vast troves of data, and the latest evidence comes from the potential discovery of a hidden Maya archaeological site in Mexico.
Google researcher Pietro Miotti described having a "random thought on vacation" about how AI agents might be used to sift through LiDAR datasets — topographical maps of Earth's terrain, captured from space satellites.
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) lasers can cut through cloud cover and forest canopies, enabling researchers to find shapes in the landscape that aren't visible to the naked eye...
