Understanding AI in Genealogy: Foundations and Tools
Learn how artificial intelligence can help with your family history research. This presentation covers what AI is, how it works, and which tools are most useful for genealogy. We’ll look at popular AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini and discuss what each one does best. You’ll learn how to work effectively with AI, including how to ask questions that get the best results and how to verify the information it provides. Whether you’re new to AI or already experimenting with it, this session will help you understand how to use these tools responsibly in your genealogy work.
AI in Genealogical Research: A Practical Approach
See how AI works in real genealogy research through hands-on examples. We’ll learn how AI can assist with common research tasks, such as creating timelines and source citations, logging research, and preparing reports. You’ll see examples of AI tools in action and learn what they excel at (and where they fall short). Leave with practical tips and specific examples you can use in your own family history research.
