AI agents flagged a possible unmapped Maya site in NASA LiDAR data in 72 hours

Pietro Miotti posted on X on November 10 that 48 general-purpose AI agents scanned 1,200 km2 of NASA LiDAR data in 72 hours and flagged a hilltop in Mexico absent from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) records, with INAH replying it has no registered archaeological site at the submitted location. Miotti said the agents found open data, inspected the imagery, checked archives and drafted a report to the national institute without any specialist model, and that a permitted field check is the next step.
