For example, you might want to save details from a poster or leaflet or have the AI translate things you don't understand while traveling. AI can help with that.

Smartphones like the iPhone and Android devices already have cameras that can be used for AI. Google has built in Google Lens abilities into its products and that's one way to go about it.
