"Understanding AI in Genealogy: Foundations and Tools"

Diana Elder AG, AGLTM
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 into these questions through three illustrative case
studies.
