Artificial intelligence brings Ancient Greek scientists ‘back to life’

·

YouTube channel, Equator AI, have been making videos since 2017 using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to reimagine iconic and historical figures around the world.

Their most recent video, titled Time Travelling with AI: Ancient Greek Scientists Tell Their Stories, brought the ancient Greeks “to life.”

The video used ancient statues of Herodotus, Thales of Miletus, Homer, Demosthenes, Aristotle, Socrates, Plato and Chrysippus, and placed life-like portraits of them beside their marble busts. 

The AI portraits not only visually resemble the Ancient Greek scientists, but they also tell their life stories in their own words.

The Equator AI channel “strives to preserve and revive the past of mankind, making it closer and more understandable for people of our era.”
