SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence SIG Q&A Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Discover the Magic of the AI SIG: Bringing Our History into the Future\nHave you heard the buzz about artificial intelligence (AI) but aren’t sure what it means for your family tree? The AI special interest group (SIG) is a new collaborative hub where we demystify the latest technology together. \nWe bridge the gap between “high-tech” ideas and the practical ways they can help you find your family. We skip the technical jargon and focus on knowledge exchange—sharing how tools like Large Language Models (LLMs) [often called “smart assistants” or “chatbots”] can breathe new life into your research. \nThis AI SIG meeting may include discussions on: \n\nHands-on Demos: See real-world showcases of how AI reads difficult handwriting (paleography) in English\, Yiddish\, Hebrew\, or the multiple other languages of Europe and the Middle East.\nPrivacy & Security: Learn the “golden rules” of AI privacy—how to use these tools safely without compromising your family’s private data or DNA results.\nProblem Solving: Participate in peer-to-peer troubleshooting to move past technical hurdles.\nAdvanced Techniques: Learn about meta-prompting (the art of giving the AI a specialized “role” or “expert persona”) to get much more accurate research results.\nEnhancing Memories: Learn how to clear up blurry family photos or organize decades of notes in seconds.\n\nLead instructor Arthur Sissman acts as your personal “guide on the side” while our AI chatbot serves as the “sage on the stage.” \n\nCelebrate Successes: Show the group what worked! Your breakthroughs provide a blueprint for others to follow.\nTroubleshoot Failures: Hit a wall? Bring your “stuck” prompts and let Arthur and the Chatbot analyze the “why” to find a solution in real-time.\nInteractive Growth: Move from a passive observer to an active participant in the future of genealogy.\n\nIn this month’s workshop\, Arthur will demonstrate how to use NotebookLM. \nAI SIG lecture presentations are open and free to the public; this workshop\, however\, is designed for in-depth\, hands-on interaction among participants and is\, therefore\, reserved for JGS Toronto members only. \nOn Zoom only \nRegister for this Program (members only)\n \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
