A multidisciplinary team of researchers is using artificial intelligence to unravel the authorship of the Hebrew Bible’s earliest books.

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing everything from healthcare to filmmaking to finance. So, why not apply it to one of the most ancient and influential books in history—the Bible?

That’s exactly what an international team of researchers set out to do. Among them was Shira Faigenbaum-Golovin, an assistant research professor of mathematics at Duke University. Together, they used a mix of AI, statistical modeling, and linguistic analysis to take on one of the biggest mysteries in biblical scholarship: who actually wrote the Bible?

By carefully examining subtle differences in word choices across the text, the team identified three distinct scribal traditions, or writing styles, within the first nine books of the Hebrew Bible, known as the Enneateuch. They then used the same AI-powered model to analyze other chapters and estimate their most likely authors. Even better, the model also explained how it reached its conclusions.

But how did the mathematician get here?

1. Which translation did they use?

2. Who wrote the bible ??? Men who wanted to control women and force their beliefs on others.

The evil that has been done in the name of that book is immeasurable.

3. Interesting, but I still don't know "who" wrote the Bible.

Bit of a click-bait title. I was hoping for a major revelation like "God" or "First Name Last Name" and maybe DOB.
