Artificial intelligence is already reshaping genealogy and often in ways we don’t immediately see. This session explores how AI is being used across the research process, from transcription and translation to analysis and storytelling.
We’ll focus on practical, professional use: how to incorporate AI into your workflow, where it adds genuine value, and where human judgement remains essential. The aim is not to replace traditional skills, but to enhance them. AI isn’t replacing genealogists, but it is changing how we work. This session will help you stay ahead of that change.
