SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence Special Interest Group
DESCRIPTION:Jewish Genealogy + AI: An Interactive Show-and-Tell Workshop\nHave you ever wondered what AI could actually do with your great-grandmother’s passenger manifest — or that headstone you can’t quite read? \nBrowse the free AI guidebooks and prompts available through JGS Toronto and\, if you have 15–30 minutes to spare\, try something before we meet. \nFree JGS Toronto AI Resources: Visit the Artificial Intelligence Resources topic on our website (Resources > JGS Toronto Resources > Artificial Intelligence Resources) to find the link to our AI resource library which provides language prompts\, genealogy prompts\, and guidebooks … all available now\, with more coming soon. If you have trouble finding them\, reach out to aisig@jgstoronto.ca and we’ll point you in the right direction. \nBefore the Meeting — No experience required — even a first attempt counts. Try one genealogy task using AI and see what happens. For example: \n\nTranslate a document\nAnalyze a passenger list\nTranscribe a headstone\nResearch an ancestral town\nCreate a research plan\nAnalyze a DNA match\n\nBring One Thing — Come prepared to share: \n\nA prompt you used\nThe result you received\nA success\, challenge\, surprise\, or question\n\nThe goal is to learn from one another\, discover practical uses for AI in Jewish genealogy\, and leave with new ideas you can use right away. Your host\, Arthur\, will guide the conversation — but the best insights will come from you. \nThe AI resource materials are publicly accessible\, but this interactive workshop is open only to members of JGS Toronto. \nOn Zoom only \nRegister for this Program (members only)\n  \nFAQ for this program: \n\nWho may register for this program?  Members only\nIs it being recorded?  Yes\nWho may view the recording?  Members only
