Artificial intelligence promises to transform family history research, and in many ways it already has. But between the hype and the horror stories, what should a genealogist believe?
In this talk, you’ll take an honest, entertaining tour of AI in genealogy. The good: the applications where AI genuinely delivers, from summarizing lengthy documents to accelerating your research. The bad: the rough edges and failure modes every genealogist should understand before trusting a new tool. And the ugly: the areas where caution is critical and traditional research methods remain essential.
Join Mark for a balanced and accessible look at AI’s real potential, and discover what these emerging capabilities could mean for your family history research.
