GENEALOGY DROP-IN UPCOMING TOPICS
Wednesday December 3, 2025 – Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Genealogy
Speaker: Jean-Yves Vanier-Verbeek from the Edmonton branch of AGS
This presentation highlights techniques for harnessing artificial intelligence to improve genealogical research and storytelling. It explains the basic principles of AI, presents examples of its use in genealogy over the years, and discusses the arrival of ChatGPT
and its impact across various fields. Jean-Yves will speak on recent applications of AI in genealogy that support more effective research and storytelling, and will conclude with a discussion of the limitations and challenges of AI, as well as its future prospects.
As time permits, we will have Don Bowling demonstrate some of the AI search tools (ex. ChatGPT) in their use and contribution to genealogical research.
