Organize Digital and Digitized Photos & Documents Using AI

When is it okay to use artificial intelligence tools for writing assistance? If it's okay to use AI, how and when should we disclose the use of AI tools? Learn how various applications of generative AI -- from grammar assistance to generating new text -- may need to be approached differently. We will go over specific methods for disclosing and citing AI tools, such as mentioning the use of generative AI in the limitations section of a report and citing the specific AI tool in a reference note citation.

Do you have genealogy-related PowerPoint presentations full of interesting material that could benefit other researchers, except your presentations are languishing in a file on your computer? For whatever reason, do you no longer wish to share your research knowledge or material in front of a physical or digitally-linked audience?
