Iris Kramer’s invention, ArchAI was valued at a record-breaking £770,000 at a Dragons’ Den-style event. It is first of its kind to apply artificial intelligence to the detection of archaeological sites. It uses data from laser scanning and satellite imagery to work out the likelihood of a given location containing an archaeological site. Groundwork can then confirm its report.
Iris says it takes 6-12 months for archaeological research before construction and her invention can save that time
