AI in the Prehistoric Great Lakes

AI in the Prehistoric Great Lakes

Presented by Points North podcast, Interlochen Public Radio and Dennos Museum Center in Milliken Auditorium.

In 2013, scientists from Michigan and Wisconsin used virtual reality to discover an ancient hunting site in the Great Lakes. At the Drop 45 site, there are 9,000 year-old hunting blinds and tools, and nearby is a fireplace with charcoal and trees rooted in the bottom of Lake Huron, all preserved in 120 feet of cold freshwater. The archeologists had help from AI caribou placed in a virtual world that simulates what Lake Huron was like before the water rose to its current level. Meet the scientists, visit the virtual prehistoric world they made and see the AI caribou that roam there.
