    Mr. Tanner, thank you for the interesting discussion. I am interested in the AI Record Finder. As I am currently vacationing in Spain, I cannot get into the US MyHeritage page. I understand that the AI record finder is currently only available in English, but will it find foreign language records, or only English language records? Thank you. Gil Torbeck

    James has delivered a thought provoking, interesting, and certainly entertaining presentation about what AI tools are available through My Heritage and Microsoft Co-Pilot. He is one of the few presenters who has explained the various components that comprise the emerging mystery that is called “AI” today. His hints about testing your inquiry and the results returned against your past confirmed research is so important, because it trains you how to frame the most accurate and focussed inquiry to obtain the most reliable and arguably accurate information back from the chatbot. A very practical and helpful presentation.

    James Tanner gave an easily understood description on the use of AI for genealogy research, looking specifically at the amazing things that can be done with AI on the MyHeritage site. I’m hoping James will give a second, more in depth webinar on this topic.

    I have always been a little leery of AI, but after completing my second webinar by James Tanner I look forward to expanding my genealogical research to include AI.
