Using A.I. to translate ancient cuneiform
Still not sure where you stand with the developments in AI? Well, check out this news article!
Tel Aviv University and Ariel University scholars in Israel have been using AI to translate fragments of ancient cuneiform texts on stone tablets into English with what they say is a "high degree of accuracy."
For over 200 years, archeologists have found thousands of texts in Mesopotamia, most of which are in Sumerian and Akkadian. Unfortunately, the majority of them remained untranslated due to their vast number and a very small quantity of experts who can actually translate Sumerian and Akkadian.
Well, not anymore!
The scholars presented the first neural machine translation from Akkadian into English in the May issue of PNAS Nexus. Their results are "on par with those produced by an average machine translation from one modern language to another," noted Arkeonews and?the project has been referred to as "another major step toward the preservation and dissemination of the cultural heritage of ancient Mesopotamia."
What does the global marketplace look like from the entrepreneur's point of view?
Daniel Priestley is co-founder and CEO of Dent Global, which operates in 3 different time zones, the author of four best-selling books and he is one of the first names that come to mind when you think about entrepreneurship.
And his success? Not a coincidence.
“My strategy is very simple," Daniel says, "...I surround myself with talented people and then I act as their servant. My job is to try to get them anything they need. If they need tea and coffee, I will make them a tea and a coffee. If they need ￡100,000 to develop the business I will go and find ￡100,000.”
We know growing globally is more important now than ever before but what are the barriers we need to overcome and what does the global marketplace look like from the entrepreneur's point of view?
Listen to the very first guest episode of Thrive in Global Markets and hear from Daniel Priestley his own insights and experiences as one of the most achieved entrepreneurs of our age!
