How can AI be used in your genealogy research?

Genealogist Thomas MacEntee will take you through the process of learning how to harness the power of artificial intelligence to assist in translating, transcribing, and summarizing various genealogy records. A handwritten baptismal record from the 1800s? No problem. A faded newspaper obituary? No problem. We’ll cover the best AI platforms as well as how to craft a solid prompt to get you the results you need. 

Cosponsored by the Champaign County Genealogical Society.
