Geeks anciensLe traitement médiatique des annonces concernant l'usage de l'IA pour l'étude de documents antiques a toujours quelque chose de naïf que je trouverais touchant s'il n'était pas profondément problématique. Pourquoi est-ce problématique ? Explications. On a pu voir ça avec l'usage de l'IA pour aider à déchiffrer des rouleaux de papyrus romains trop endommagés pour être déroulés et examinés à l'œil nu. Ces jours-ci, Google a annoncé avoir mis au point un outil utilisant l'IA pour aider les antiquisant-e-s à émettre des hypothèses sur les parties manquantes des inscriptions romaines.

Historians capture these insights by identifying parallels—inscriptions with shared phrasing, function or cultural setting—to enable the contextualization of texts within broader historical frameworks, and perform key tasks such as restoration and geographical or chronological attribution1.
