Steve explains what Large Language Models are and their strengths, including summarization, extraction, generation, and translation. He discusses how AI can be used in genealogy to extract names, dates, and relationships from text, assist with genealogical writing and translating documents, transcribe printed and handwritten text, and transform text to different comprehension levels or modern standard English.
Listeners will learn about the potential of AI in the field of genealogy, as well as its limitations. Steve emphasizes the importance of verifying AI-generated results. He also touches on the future of AI in genealogy, predicting new use cases, more competitors, and expanding context windows.
