Imagine having a personal assistant to help you with your genealogy research —AI makes that possible!

In this beginner-to-intermediate level workshop, you’ll learn how the newest crop of artificial intelligence tools can reliably support your genealogy research efforts; from simple fact-finding to creating in-depth research reports.  You’ll learn where these tools can safely be used, as well as where they should be avoided for now.
