PROGRAM TITLE: Genealogy and Artificial Intelligence; Trouble Ahead?
PROGRAM PRESENTER: Thomas MacEntee is a “tech guy” with a love for history who got laid-off during The Great Recession of 2008. He is also a genealogy professional based in Chicago who is a blogger, educator, author, social media connector, online community builder and more. After a 25-year career in the information technology field, MacEntee started his own genealogy-related business called High Definition Genealogy. He also created an online community of over 3,000 family history bloggers known as GeneaBloggers. His most recent endeavor, Hack Genealogy, is an attempt to “re-purpose today’s technology for tomorrow’s genealogy.” Thomas describes himself as a lifelong learner with a background in a multitude of topics who has finally figured out what he does best: teach, inspire, instigate, and serve as a curator and go-to-guy for concept nurturing and inspiration. Thomas is a big believer in success, and that we all succeed when we help each other find success. You can subscribe to his newsletter at: MacEntee's Genealogy and Technology E-News.
PROGRAM SUMMARY: While AI (artificial intelligence) might be the current “hot” buzz word, the fact is that many genealogy vendors and even genealogists have already been using this technology for years. The AI industry is at a crossroads and within the next five years, it will permeate almost every aspect of business and society. Learn how AI is currently being used to improve the genealogy experience, and whether or not you should seek out other uses of artificial intelligence for your own genealogy research. Thomas discusses best practices for AI engine prompts and demonstrates AI result generation with AI engines: Chat GPT, Perplexity.AI and Bard.
