A new artificial intelligence program called CARMEL is tackling one of the greatest unsolved crime sprees in US history—the Zodiac Killer. The software was programmed specifically to decode one of the ciphers left behind by the notorious serial killer who is responsible for as many as 3 deaths in California during the late 1960s. More details below.
- The AI was programmed by an expert in artificial intelligence and cryptography, Keven Knight.
- California’s Information Science Institute is using CARMEL to decode the mysterious cyphers left behind by the Zodiac Killer.
- In case you are interested, you can use an online tool to get this same program to write poetry for you!
- Full disclosure, these poems are much creepier than you probably want -exactly what you’d expect from an AI used for catching killers.
- For those of you wondering, no signs currently point to Ted Cruz.
