Researchers used artificial intelligence to discover information on dinosaurs, specifically to find out if a certain dinosaur was a predator or not. AI has shown that the dinosaur typically thought to be a carnivore may actually have been an herbivore.The new analysis was done by using deep convolutional neural networks – computing systems based on neural networks of the brain – to track the fossils of these prehistoric reptiles. The study was conducted by Dr.
The artificial intelligence computing system was trained with 1,500 dinosaur footprints, all of which consisted of animals that were theropod or ornithopod. These two groups were selected because they were the group of dinosaurs related to the Dinosaur Stampede National Monument prints.The outcome showed that the tracks had been made by an herbivorous ornithopod dinosaur. The dinosaurs started out as small and bipedal, standing on two legs, but were exclusively plant-eaters.
The research team consisted of three members who all had different prognostications on the type of dinosaur it was. “In our research team of three, one person was pro-meat-eater, one person was undecided, and one was pro-plant-eater. So—to really check our science—we decided to go to five experts for clarification, plus use AI.”
The AI surpassed the researchers in declaring the dinosaur type. “The AI was the clear winner, outperforming all of the experts by a wide margin, with a margin of error of around 11 percent,” Dr. Lallensack said. The researchers hope to utilize artificial intelligence in the future to further classify groups of dinosaurs, along with continuously building their database, using information they’ve discovered from the study.
why vicious ?!!! no one existed at that time, so that the notion of vice did not exist...
