Subject: [IAJGS Leadership] Artificial Intelligence
Dear IAJGS Leaders,
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential for great good and great evil. When contacted by phone, email, or text, do you know whether you are dealing with a human or a machine? With AI, some of the easy ways we have used to identify spam, like misspelled words and clumsy grammar, will be a thing of the past. AI is already being used to enhance "the grandparent scam". This month's Practicing Safe Computing article, "Artificial Intelligence" discusses these issues and provides some guidance to avoid being scammed.
"Artificial Intelligence" has been published in the April 2023 issue of "Venturing into Our Past", the Newsletter of the Jewish Genealogical Society of the Conejo Valley and Ventura County (JGSCV). Current and prior newsletters are freely available at the Society's website, https://www.jgscv.org
All Practicing Safe Computing articles published to date are available in a single searchable PDF. This resource is freely accessible at https://tinyurl.com/ SafeComputingArticles . Consider placing a link to it on your society's web site or otherwise sharing it with your members as an ongoing free resource, reminding them when new articles are available. If you have any questions or suggestions for future articles, please contact me.
Best,
Hal
