In this episode of the Research Like a Pro podcast, Diana and Nicole interview Mark Thompson, a professional genealogist specializing in digitizing and archiving family memorabilia and genetic genealogy. Mark shares his expertise on using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to analyze family photographs. Here are some key points from the interview: ● Benefits of AI face tagging: AI face tagging is a huge time saver and makes it easier to find photos in your digital archive. It can also help you identify unknown people in photos by comparing them across different collections. ● Prompts for AI photo analysis: Mark suggests using prompts like "when," "where," and "why" when analyzing photos with AI tools. ● Getting started with AI in genealogy: Start by focusing on tasks you already do and are familiar with. Look for ways that AI can improve your current workflow and make a difference in your research. Mark also recommends several AI tools for photo analysis, including tagging tools like Lightroom, Mylio, and Apple/Google/Amazon, and AI chatbots with vision capabilities like ChatGPT and Perplexity.
