Use AI as your Genealogy Research Assistant (Webinar - online)
A virtual presentation on Zoom
SPECIAL TIME 10:00 - 11:30 AM CST (UTC-6)
Presented by Mark Thompson
What if you had a research assistant who could find and analyze and summarize dozens of complex source documents in minutes for you? Today's artificial intelligence (AI) tools make this possible. In this session you'll see real-world cases where the newest crop of AI tools can reliably support your genealogy research, without the debris we sometimes encountered just a year ago: hallucinations, mysterious citations, etc.
Mark is a professional genealogist and educator specializing in the use of technology. With extensive executiver experience in technology, Mark makes complex tools accessible and productive for genealogists of all skill levels. He co-hosts the Family History AI Show podcast ( link) with Steve Little.
The member Coupon Code is sent to members via email and is posted on IGSI’s member-only webpage ( link).
