#genchat®️🌳 has moved

As the credits roll: Thanks to all who are here & who have left Twitter to make #genchat what it's become. I hope to see it even better in the clear blue sky!

On that note, it's time to say goodbye to this venue. Please: find us on Bluesky! #genchat @genchat.bsky.social

Any other thoughts, ladies & gentlemen? #genchat

A6 #genchat Here are my thoughts: be ethical, but truthful, be kind, encourage others in their genealogical journey.

@thesingleleaf Are you on Bluesky? Tell me you're on Bluesky! #genchat

@_genchat 👋🏼 And, hi! I’ve missed all of you but life happens.

Q4 #genchat How are ethical standards for using AI in genealogy research and reporting being developed?

@TreeBra44061473 #genchat

@_genchat Just shy of 12 years. Thanks musk for ruining this site. ##genchat

Before we proceed to the last question, allow me a bit of sentimentality...the very first question on #genchat :

@thesingleleaf I'll spread the word! #genchat

@_genchat Yes, if you’d like more information before then just contact me. It’s a work in progress but the guidelines/principles will help any genealogist navigate this fast-paced technology. #genchat

@Cferra1227 @TreeBra44061473 Love it! #genchat

Q5 #genchat How will the genealogy community evolve in the future? More online, in-person, or something else?

Q6 #genchat How can we contribute to the future of genealogy in a positive way?

Kind of appropriate & ties in with our last question! #genchat

@TreeBra44061473 There haven't been very many, but I've really enjoyed those I've attended. #genchat

@_genchat A5 #genchat I think we will have more zoom style conferences and research.

@thesingleleaf Great to know! (and hi, Lynn!) Though that's 3 months away & things are developing quickly. #genchat

@_genchat A4 The Coalition for Responsible AI in Genealogy has developed guidelines the will be officially presented at RootsTech. The session is currently scheduled to be live-streamed and recorded. #genchat

@Free2BFreSpirit @Cferra1227 This kind of ties back to Q2: sometimes companies & records (or "Records") come out faster than we can do anything about them. #genchat

Q2 #genchat As we research, how do we balance record availability, data obsolescence and privacy?

@Cferra1227 I remember! #genchat

A4 #genchat I'm not on the cutting edge of AI, but from what I've seen, the use of AI has far outpaced the development of standards for using it.

@Cferra1227 Same. #genchat

Q3 #genchat The DNA service landscape is already changing (23&Me, Gedmatch). How might this impact how we use DNA in our research?

@Cferra1227 Actually, I utilize a government database at work & it uses Java ! #genchat
