Genealogy Meets AI:
A Friendly Guide to the Latest Research Tools

Presenter:  Steve Little

Discover how artificial intelligence can enhance your genealogy research in practical, powerful ways. We'll explore AI tools that can analyze photographs of headstones, transcribe handwritten documents, and translate inscriptions from multiple languages. Using real examples, you'll see how these tools can save hours of work and unlock previously inaccessible family records. Learn which AI platforms best suit your research needs, when to rely on them, and when to be cautious. Whether you're tech-savvy or just getting started with digital tools, you'll leave with a clear understanding of how to put AI to work in your family history research.

Steve Little serves as AI Program Director for the National Genealogical Society and founded AI Genealogy Insights, where he explores the integration of artificial intelligence into genealogical research. His background uniquely combines graduate work in computational linguistics with years of experience building information systems for libraries and archives. As co-host of The Family History AI Show podcast, he helps researchers understand both the possibilities and limitations of AI in family history research. His work focuses particularly on using technology to understand complex genealogical relationships, including endogamy and pedigree collapse.
