Science today shows how modern computing can unlock the distant past. A single advance stands out: artificial intelligence is not just generating new text and images, but helping historians solve a two-century-old mystery at remarkable speed.
An engineer uses artificial intelligence to decode a 217-year-old Napoleonic military cipher letter that had resisted interpretation for more than two centuries. The system helps crack the encoded message in about six hours, highlighting how AI tools can accelerate historical research by tackling complex handwritten and encrypted archival material.
