Join us for a presentation by our own Merralee Retallick on “Introduction to AI”.
This program will cover the following:
▪ What is AI? Including basic terminology and a bit about where it’s been and where it’s going
▪ Overview of common AI tools and what they are best at
▪ Common Genealogical applications of AI
▪ Tips for getting the best results with AI
▪ Resources
As a child, Merralee was fascinated by cemeteries, not the death aspect of them, but trying to figure out what stories might be behind the dates, inscriptions, and symbols on headstones. When her mom married her stepfather, she got a wonderful third grandmother who introduced her to genealogy and Merralee knew right away that it was for her. Merralee is also a self-proclaimed geek with an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering and a minor in computer science. As Artificial Intelligence became more mainstream, she became fascinated, curious, excited, and sometimes terrified by its prospects. Merralee is semi-retired, and when she isn’t working to apply AI while building a company with her two co-founders, she is trying to apply it to genealogy.
