SUMMARY:General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:General Meeting \nTime: 7:00 – 8:30 pm ET \nTopic: Translating\, Transcribing\, and Summarizing Documents Using AI (Artificial Intelligence) \nLocation: Watch Party at First Presbyterian Church\, 189 Church Street\, Marietta\, GA \nDescription: Join us to watch the presentation with Thomas MacEntee. Networking and discussion opportunities will be available before and after the presentation. \nLearn how to harness the power of artificial intelligence to assist in translating\, transcribing\, and summarizing a variety of genealogy records. A handwritten baptismal record from the 1800s? No problem. A faded newspaper obituary? No problem. We’ll cover the best AI platforms as well as how to craft a solid prompt to get you the results you need. \nSpeaker: Thomas MacEntee \nThomas MacEntee is a Baby Boomer guy with a love of punk rock music but also art history who somehow “fell” into the technology industry almost 40 years ago\, and then left a lucrative IT career to pursue his love of family history and genealogy. Technology and historical research are opposites\, but “tech people” like Thomas are needed to guide today’s genealogists through the maze of options so they can deploy the best apps and devices to break down research brick walls. Thomas MacEntee: author\, educator\, advocate\, entrepreneur\, and that “genealogy guy” who helps you accomplish your family history goals. \nThomas MacEntee is a guy with a love of punk rock music but also art history who somehow “fell” into the technology industry years ago.
