Google researcher Pietro Miotti said he used 48 AI agents and NASA's LiDAR data to identify a possible previously unrecorded site linked to Mexico's ancient Maya civilisation. The agents took under 72 hours to generate images apparently showing a levelled plaza, an oval pyramid and a raised courtyard. Miotti said archaeologists would need to conduct fieldwork to verify the finding.
