Artificial intelligence is not a passing fad. It is a fundamental change affect nearly every aspect of our lives. Genealogy does not escape the effects of these major changes. One obvious effect of AI to FamilySearch.org is the end of volunteer-based indexing. If you haven't noticed, Indexing has disappeared from the website. 
All the indexing of records on the FamilySearch.org website is being done by AI-driven Full-Text Search based, in part, on AI based handwriting recognition.
I suggest the following to get some idea about what is going on.

I have a number of other videos on the BYU Library Family History Center YouTube Channel, but they are now months old and possibly already far out of date. This is the same problem with looking online for current information about AI. You have to look at the date of the article or video and try to find something that is not already out of date.
AI is currently reaching the saturation point of online text and videos. By the way, I have more videos about AI coming up during the months ahead.
