Using Artificial Intelligence responsibly for family history.
GeneAIlogy has been created to help family historians use Artificial Intelligence with confidence, responsibility and curiosity.
These principles are inspired by the work of the Coalition for Responsible AI in Genealogy, whose guiding principles cover accuracy, disclosure, privacy, education and compliance. Visit CRAIGEN.
Use AI to suggest ideas, not to prove facts. Always check names, dates, places and conclusions against original records.
Be open when AI has materially helped create, translate, summarise or alter your family history work.
Think carefully before entering information about living people or sensitive family matters into any AI service.
Keep learning. AI is changing quickly, and good practice comes from experimenting, questioning and sharing what works.
Respect copyright, website terms, subscriptions, data protection rules and intellectual property when using AI.
GeneAIlogy is not about teaching Artificial Intelligence to understand genealogy. It is about helping genealogists use Artificial Intelligence with confidence, responsibility and curiosity.
AI can help you think, organise and explore — but it should never replace careful research, original records or sound genealogical judgement.
