Lesson 4: Using AI Responsibly

No translators required

AI tools can translate text in signs, menus, announcements and conversations almost instantly, making it easier for people to navigate unfamiliar places without needing a human translator.

Google Translate and DeepL now handle over 100 languages instantly. You just point your phone camera at a foreign sign and can read it in your own language.

AI can translate speech from one language to another in real-time allowing two people with no common language to communicate without a human translator.

This means doctors communicate with patients who speak rare languages making treatment quicker.
