Steve Little is the AI Program Director for the National Genealogical Society, the founder of AI Genealogy Insights, and a co-host of The Family History AI Show podcast. He brings lifelong interests in language, technology, and genealogy to his teaching, with graduate-level study in applied linguistics, natural language processing, and computational linguistics, and a first career spent in and around libraries, law libraries, local repositories, universities, and archives building information systems. Steve traces deep Appalachian roots to Ashe County, North Carolina, where all 32 of his 3rd-great-grandparents had settled by 1820, many earlier. His current genealogical interests include AI and genetic genealogy, endogamy, pedigree collapse, multiple relationships, evidence evaluation, and the practical limits of automated assistance. Beyond genealogy, Steve is a husband, father, Methodist pastor, Virginian, reader, writer, photographer, and enthusiastic regex and workflow tinkerer.
