Italian archaeologists use AI to generate image of Pompeii victim for first time
✦ AI Brief
Remains of a male adult were found near the southern gates of Pompeii, lying next to a terracotta mortar that he presumably used as protection. Archaeologists believe the man was killed by a shower of volcanic rocks while trying to escape towards the sea. He was also carrying a lamp and bronze coins. An AI-generated image shows a man ducking for cover, illustrating the scene of the volcanic eruption that destroyed the ancient Roman city.
