Just been listening to a Doctor saying that A.I., will change healthcare and that numerous books are being scanned into the system and then he went on to talk about robotics in operations.
I wouldn't trust an operation like that, based on the following:-
So I typed into Google ...
Artificial Intelligence who is the father of George Hood of Selby uk
It offered me UK as a choice to add on to my text, so A.I., realised that this was likely a UK problem, so I accepted UK on the end of my question, up came some Rootschat images, one from the 1815 York Courant newspaper of George Hood's marriage at Selby, which Google will also do.
Then a pdf with this in (which doesn't make any sense yet) and probably would not if traced backward (but I will check who she links back to, out of curiosity) ...
death of mother Mary Sarah
Hood (1828–1914), July 1914,
York, Yorkshire, EnglandNext ...
Global Government Forum website
The accelerator and the brake: embedding AI across government in the UKBecause the government piece cites a person whose surname includes -Hood as part of her double barrelled surname. They are a family in printed Biographies and works by Burke.
Also Rootschat ... Richard Hood, a Mariner, roughly a similar age span to George Hood, so if linked, this Richard Hood was not a Father of George.
I previously did some research into the witness names at the 1817 marriage of Richard Hood to Elizabeth Barrett, at Hull, Yorkshire. Using the witness names as the Marriages parties at other nearby Yorkshire Marriages and found one with a Hoard witness. My late Grandmother 55 years ago, said Hood could be previously pronounced like that.
Suggesting Hoard may also be a variation of Hood.
The old printed work of one particular Howard family in Southern England said their surname Howard was also spelt Hoard, but this particular family was one who use both spellings at the same time.
And a few other returns where hood appears as part of a word.
I'm laughing 
that there will be some people or questions who can or will totally flummox A.I. The only way A.I., might work in family history, would mean people reading and typing billions of words, from every single piece or page of a surviving Document, or Will, or Deed, Manor Court Roll, Rental etc., etc., or Volume, or Historical Book etc., held in an Archive, or Library, or Repository, or University Special Collection and their Libraries, or National Archives and archives still held by the UK government (much of it in old style handwriting or Latin etc.,) and then be accurately fed into a massive super computer program.
That is not going to happen.
I discovered a few years ago that even the Law Society a Registration Body of Solicitors hold some documents, of some Solicitors who cease in the profession, for one reason or another.
