IAJGS AI VIRTUAL SUMMIT IS NOW ONLINE

 "The program featured two hour-long sessions - an overview of AI, and one focusing on using AI as a research tool. It concluded with a panel discussion featuring Little and Thompson, who cohost the podcast “The Family History AI Show;” Humphrey, who is CEO and co-founder of L’Dor V’Dor Foundation; professional genealogists Gil Bardige and Alec Ferretti, and moderator Jarrett Ross, who is known as the GeneaVlogger.

This was the first, but not the last, AI virtual summit planned by IAJGS. At least one more is in the works for later this year, according to Humphrey. And there are plans for what she calls a “rewind party,” to give those who view the recording a chance to ask questions of the speakers in a live forum."
