AUTOMATA PI AT ARCHEOM 2025
Each year, Istituto Svizzero hosts the archaeology departments of Swiss universities, providing a platform for work and discussion to raise the profile of Swiss archaeological research in the Mediterranean region. Archeom 2025, held on 12th February 2025, will focus on “Artificial Intelligence for Archaeology: Potential and Challenges”.
Advancements in the field of artificial intelligence are progressing fast. The question of its applications in the sciences and its integration with established methods has therefore been a topic of growing interest. Recent developments are also unveiling a wide range of potential uses in archaeology—spanning from AI-supported image processing to computer-aided reconstruction. Currently, particular attention is being paid (though not exclusively) to innovations in visual data analysis. New challenges and opportunities often arise only through practical implementation and interdisciplinary collaboration with computer science. This highlights the importance of fostering dialogue about both the possibilities and limitations of these technologies—a goal that this workshop seeks to address.
The event brings together input lectures from the fields of computer vision, archaeological projects, and related disciplines, while providing opportunities for discussion and exchange. The workshop invites especially also early-career researchers who want to explore and engage with this pioneering field.
Gabriele Gattiglia, Automata’s PI, will take part in the workshop with a lecture intitled “From ArchAIDE to AUTOMATA. AI applications for archaeological pottery”.
