I'd like to offer some philosophical thoughts on AI. I believe AI is as big a change to our world as the invention of the internet. Love it or hate it, it is already changing everything. I'm as nervous as the next person about the downsides (ex: deepfakes), but here's the thing: I'm not going to get less nervous by avoiding it. I believe it is incumbent on all of us, and especially genealogy professionals, to be upfront about how we are using AI in our work. If we're not sure if we are using AI, it's up to us to figure out how AI is a part of our workflow, and identify it as such.
