(Editor's note: While other COSCA articles have incorporated some results of Artificial Intelligence, or "AI," this is the first to be entirely written by the generative AI chatbot called ChatGPT. When COSCA was researching the origins of Scottish clans and families, we learned that Clan Maclaine of Lochbuie used a "ChatGPT Maclaine Historian." We learned about the origins of Maclaine and then asked "How can other clan societies set up a ChatGPT historian?" Here is the complete result without any editing.)
Setting up a ChatGPT historian for a clan society or similar organization involves a series of steps to customize and optimize the AI for the specific historical and cultural knowledge of the group.
Here's a general guide:
1. Define Goals and Scope
Decide the purpose: Is it for answering historical questions, educating members, or providing general information?
Define the scope: Will it cover only your clan's history or related topics like regional history, genealogy, or broader Scottish history?
2. Gather Resources
Collect historical documents, genealogies, books, and any other relevant materials.
Ensure you have permission to use copyrighted materials if applicable.
Include oral histories and traditions for a well-rounded dataset.
3. Choose an AI Platform
Use OpenAI’s GPT Models: These models can be fine-tuned or prompted to act as a historian.
Set Up a Custom GPT:Â OpenAI offers a platform where you can create a specialized version of GPT tailored to your needs.
4. Customize the AI
Provide Contextual Instructions:Â Specify how the AI should behave. For example:
"Answer questions about Clan [Name]'s history with focus on key events and figures."
"Avoid assumptions; base responses only on provided materials."
Upload Documents:Â Use a file-processing tool to ingest clan-specific historical documents.
Fine-Tune (Optional): If you have a large dataset, you can fine-tune the GPT model using OpenAI’s APIs to make it more accurate and specialized.
5. Build an Interface
Create a user-friendly platform where people can interact with the AI.
Options include:
A chatbot on your website.
Integration into messaging platforms (e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger).
A mobile app or desktop tool.
6. Test and Refine
Run tests with your clan society members to identify inaccuracies or gaps in responses.
Continuously update the AI with new findings or materials.
7. Promote Use Among Members
Announce the tool at clan gatherings or in newsletters.
Offer tutorials or demonstrations to show how members can interact with it.
8. Monitor and Update
Regularly review the AI’s output to ensure accuracy and relevance.
Add new resources or adjust settings as needed.
9. Consider Privacy and Ethics
Be transparent about data use, especially if members’ inputs are stored.
Comply with data protection laws like GDPR if applicable.
Example Tools and Platforms:
OpenAI API:Â For building and hosting your historian.
Chatbot Platforms:Â Such as Botsify, Tars, or HubSpot for easy deployment.
Website Integrations: Embed ChatGPT on your clan’s official website using APIs.
This approach can help other clan societies set up a historian AI to preserve and share their unique heritage effectively!
