What Can Artificial Intelligence
Really Do for Your Genealogy?

(Preliminary working program title — final title and program details coming soon!)


Steve Little


Steve Little is the AI Program Director for the National Genealogical Society and founder of AI Genealogy Insights. A genealogist for more than 30 years, he brings together longstanding interests and experience in genealogy, language, technology, and information systems.


Steve studied applied linguistics at the graduate level, specializing in natural language processing and computational linguistics—fields that underpin today’s large language models. His earlier career included building information systems for law, university, and archival libraries. He also co-hosts The Family History AI Show podcast and is a founding member of the Coalition for Responsible AI in Genealogy.


His work focuses on helping genealogists understand both the practical possibilities and the limitations of artificial intelligence in family-history research.

About the Seminar

Join Steve Little, AI Program Director for the National Genealogical Society and founder of AI Genealogy Insights, for an engaging, approachable exploration of AI and genealogy.

Whether you're already experimenting with AI or simply curious about what it can do, we'll look beyond the hype at its growing possibilities, important limitations, and the evolving ways these tools may complement the knowledge, curiosity, and judgment genealogists bring to their research.
