Protecting Your Family History in the Age of AI

Every time you type family details into a chatbot, where do they go? It’s the question most of us never think to ask, and the answer matters for every family historian.

In this talk, Mark offers a clear, jargon-free guide to keeping your family’s information safe while still enjoying everything AI can do. You’ll learn, in plain language, what actually happens to the family details you share with a chatbot, whether free and paid versions treat your information differently, and the settings that put you back in control and stop your information from being used to improve the AI. You’ll also learn how to store and manage what you share so it is less likely to end up somewhere you did not intend, and how to protect the privacy of living relatives along the way.

You’ll leave able to enjoy AI with confidence, getting all the benefits without giving away your family’s privacy.
