Over the past year, and especially in the past few months, artificial intelligence in genealogy has been a hot topic. RootsTech 2024 featured a number of presentations and videos on the topic, including a three-part series from James Tanner.

We are excited to announce a new Goal for The Family History Guide: “Learn about artificial intelligence.” It’s included in the the Technology Project as a shared Goal for each of the Learning Paths:

• FamilySearch: Project 7, Goal 8
• Ancestry: Project 6, Goal 7
• MyHeritage: Project 6, Goal 7
• Findmypast: Project 6, Goal 7

Choice A focuses on learning how artificial intelligence fits into genealogy and research strategies. Choice B focuses on ChatGPT and other AI tools, as well as a sampling of sites such as Ancestry and MyHeritage.

Here’s a partial screenshot for the FamilySearch AI Goal 8. Note that the links to articles and videos are not enabled in the picture as they are on the actual website.

We hope you enjoy learning about recent developments in AI and how they can help you become more productive and successful in your family history efforts.
