What artificial intelligence can do for you
Artificial intelligence is in the news everywhere. In practice, what can it do for you if you're not a computer expert? Here are some simple, useful examples.
- Write for you: a cancellation letter, a complaint, a birthday message. You say what you want, the AI drafts it, you read it over.
- Explain a complicated letter: taxes, pension, legal paperwork. It explains it again in simple words (hide your personal details first).
- Translate: a restaurant menu, a sign on holiday, a message from a relative abroad, even out loud.
- Recognise what you photograph: a plant, an insect, a monument. For mushrooms, always ask an expert.
- Help with everyday life: a recipe with what's left in the fridge, a shopping list, a trip planned day by day.
- Answer your questions without ever losing patience: the history of your region, the rules of a game, a crossword clue that won't give in.
Good to know: AI can make mistakes. For anything to do with health, money or the law, check with a professional.
