Zoom Talk: Artificial Intelligence and Family History with speaker Andrew Redfern

Learn how AI is transforming genealogical research, documentation, preservation, and sharing family histories. Gain valuable insights into this new technology, and discover strategies for making use of generative tools like ChatGPT to develop your family history. From understanding the technology to seeing how you can use it immediately in your family history, this talk is aimed to inspire and excite all genealogists.

This talk is for everyone, beginner and experienced genealogist alike, who is interested in exploring the exciting possibilities of Artificial Intelligence in the realm of family history research.

Andrew will provide a handout after his presentation as sometimes things can pop up during the course of the session that he can include in the handout.

Andrew is a passionate family historian and technology enthusiast. Since his initial interest in researching his family tree in the mid-1980s, Andrew has developed a deep interest in how technology can enhance the way we explore and preserve our family histories. The integration of AI into his toolkit was a natural progression and he has given numerous presentations on this topic all over the world including RootsTech and Legacy Family Tree Webinars. He is a current director of the  Society of Australian Genealogists and contributes extensively to their education and IT programs.

A resident of Sydney, Andrew trained as a primary school teacher and taught for eight years before establishing his technology consultancy business. With an ancestor arriving in Australia in 1801, colonial Australia has always been a focus of his family history research.
