In Episode #9 of The Family History AI Show podcast, Mark Thompson and I begin by exploring the potential benefits of Meta’s open-source approach to AI. Next, we discuss MyHeritage’s plans to retire an AI feature. Then, we review the AI image generation features added to Adobe Illustrator.
In this week’s Tip of the Week, we share valuable insights on crafting effective, hallucination-resistant genealogical AI prompts using the “Role, Task, and Format” prompting method.
The RapidFire segment covers Apple’s AI delays, Google’s impressive math achievements, Reddit’s web crawling restrictions, OpenAI’s venture into AI-based search, and Meta’s groundbreaking image recognition advancements.
In all, this episode offers a blend of practical applications and future possibilities, making it essential listening for genealogists navigating the AI revolution. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or a family history buff, this show provides the knowledge you need to stay ahead in the rapidly changing world of AI.
Steve Little is the AI Program Director for the National Genealogical Society and the founder of AI Genealogy Insights. I trace my deep roots to one Appalachian county, where, by 1820, all 32 of my 3rd-great-grandparents had settled—many even earlier than that. In fact, 60 of my most recent ancestors were born, lived, and died there, in Ashe County, NC. My passion lies in AI & genetic genealogy: with a keen interest in endogamy, pedigree collapse, and the art of deciphering multiple relationships through DNA segment triangulation, and an insatiable curiosity to explore beneficial uses and current limits of artificial intelligence in genealogy. Beyond genealogy, I wear many hats: I'm a husband and a dad, a Methodist pastor, and a Virginian. My hobbies span from bird watching and sky gazing to chess and film. Additionally, I'm an avid reader, writer, photographer, and regex script hacker.
