8 of the coolest things AI is doing.

I’d love AI to support me and the people I know, who regularly get ill and burnout - because they don’t recognise when they’re overdoing it! It would be able to recognise fatigue levels and changes in health in humans, so we can be preventative rather than reactive 💯 

Brainstorm ideas

What I’d really like is an AI Robot to get all those mundane chores done like laundry, loading/unloading the dishwasher, general cleaning, cooking, shopping, driving etc.. Until then sorting out all that boring but necessary thinking like meal planning and shopping lists and my to do list etc… 

AI should take over the worlds economy, making sure that everyone stays well above the poverty line.

Some people, a low percentage of the worlds population has more disposable income than any single person could possibly need.
Imagine the world if this wealth was evenly distributed to every adult on our planet.
It could lead to a contented world population, which in turn could lead to more investment in each country, the end of all wars, the end of starvation, theft Etc.

AI could also manage the worlds power grids, ensuring that each person obtains all the power they need, while AI can concentrate on a strategy to reduce costs, increse renewable energy, thus contributing to reduce the global warming crisis we are currently facing.

In short, humans have made a right mess with the management of our planet.

Could AI really do any worse than us ???

I would like help with investment insights and advice - particularly long term.

AI isn’t just about chatbots and self-driving cars, although those things are pretty cool! It’s revolutionizing fields in ways you’d never expect. From decoding lost languages to exploring the deep sea, AI is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. So here are 8 of the most fascinating AI applications that might surprise you.

Plus, we’re giving away an HP Chromebook Plus with a 12-Month Google One AI Premium Plan! Find out how to enter at the end of the article.

 

1. Decoding ancient languages.

 

 

AI is helping linguists decipher lost languages by analysing ancient texts. Using algorithms, artificial neural networks predict missing words in ancient Greek manuscripts and Egyptian hieroglyphs. AI can even accelerate the translation of dead languages that have no modern equivalent. One example is China’s Oracle Bone Script, an ancient divination text carved into cattle bones and turtle shells! 

 

2. Making masterpieces.

 

AI can already transform rough sketches into detailed artwork. Tools like Google’s AutoDraw guess what you’re trying to draw and complete it. It can also learn styles of famous artists and reproducing them. 

But it’s an amazing collaborative tool for professional artists too. Artist Mario Klingemann worked with Google Arts and Culture’s AI Experiments project to create a series of AI-generated portraits. Meanwhile artist Sougwen Chung has programmed a robotic arm to mimic her painting style and contribute its own ideas!

 

3. Predicting earthquakes and natural disasters.

 

 

Despite all our best efforts, we’re still hit with natural disasters. That’s why AI is being deployed to detect early seismic activity patterns that humans can’t see. Google and Harvard developed an AI system that analysed data from 131,000 earthquakes and aftershocks. 

And it’s not just what goes on underground. By analysing satellite images in real time, AI is also predicting wildfires based on weather and vegetation conditions. IN 2024, it helped to give warnings 10 days ahead of wildfires in Canada.

 

4. Recreating voices of historical figures.

 

AI models are analysing old recordings and reconstructing realistic speech. Projects like “AI Lincoln” allow historical figures to “speak” using AI-generated voices. And AI-powered voice cloning poignantly recreates passages of Anne Frank’s diary. When used sensitively, this could prove to be an incredible educational tool.

 

5. Bringing dreams to life.

 

 

AI models are interpreting brain activity to generate images based on dreams. Some AI projects are attempting to translate dream descriptions into visual animations. And AI-assisted dream journaling apps (like Dream Interpreter AI) can suggest themes and meaning based on past dream data.

 

6. Discovering new drugs and cures.

 

Lab work is vital, but done manually by technicians it can also be a gruelling process. AI can scan millions of molecular structures to discover potential new medicines. It might be able to speed up the process of finding life-saving drugs by years, and is even helping create personalised medicine tailored to an individual’s genetics. Though the technology is still new and unproven, the potential benefit to public health could be massive.

 

7. Design Board Games from scratch.

 

 

AI creates original board games, complete with rules and mechanics. It tests playability and adjusts difficulty levels dynamically, helping balance game mechanics for fairness and fun.

 

8. Make Deep-Sea Discoveries.

 

AI-powered submarines explore uncharted parts of the ocean. AI identifies new marine species by analyzing underwater footage, and maps the ocean floor faster than human researchers.

 

AI is more than just automation—it’s pushing the boundaries of science, creativity, and human potential.

These niche AI applications prove that its impact extends far beyond the tech industry. The future holds even wilder possibilities—what’s next for AI?

I wouldn’t mind AI that can tell me when stuff I buy regularly is on sale somewhere else.

“hey don’t buy beans HERE...next door has them for 30% off!”  No hassle, no searching etc etc for me, just the AI stepping in to save me money every day.

I need AI to find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis and for progressive MS in particular.  Currently there.is no cure.n

I would like AI to be able to use a voice request to create scripts in powershell and python to make my job easier.

Bespoke tutoring for SEND kids who are not fulfilling their potential at school due to outdated teaching and examination methods. It would revolutionise home/hybrid schooling. Also, tailored financial and savings advice to achieve future goals. 

I really would like Ai to help with exercise.  But as yet I am not sure iit could do this for me . 

Although I think it could help you ID certain exercise/ educational programmes I could use. 

Some kind of AI to help me stop procrastinating would be amazing. Something to predict when I should do certain types of tasks etc

I would like to give it my daughter who has been searching for a job for over 6 months and use the AI facility to giver her the bast opportunity to find what she wants.

Good Luck everyone

I would like AI to end all the wars and famine in the world ,teach despots how to rule their countries  fairly.

It would be great if AI could do all the housework 😊

If I could harness the power of AI in my daily life, I would want it to serve as a bridge between cultures by seamlessly translating my native language, Igbo, preserving its richness and making communication effortless across different languages.

Additionally, I envision AI as a personal health companion—one that can accurately analyze my symptoms, diagnose illnesses with precision, and recommend the perfect medication or treatment instantly. This would not only save time but also revolutionize access to healthcare, ensuring that everyone, regardless of location, receives timely and effective medical advice.

With AI’s intelligence and adaptability, the world could become more connected, healthier, and more efficient

Help me pick the best stocks and shares so I can retire early, and achieve my goal of being financially independent. 

I don't think it's that clever though. 

As a type one diabetic mum on low income.  I would love the opportunity to have AI help in mine and my children's life with their home work and myself with my diabetes and improving my maths and English. Even  with my partner  , paying out as well.There is never enough money at the end of the month. So could help with our budgeting and mental health for our family.  My children are growing up with a world of online platforms and I don't know the best way to support that , bullying etc 

Dealing with the life admin like finding the best deals for Insurance, energy, broadband, TV, mortgage, loans, credit etc and switching for you. Would save me hours and a load of money.

To help me and my family remember to take important medications 

I want AI to be able to warn me when I buy something in a store if the item is cheaper in another store nearby…. “don’t buy beans here, next door has them for 2/3rds the price!”

Just a simple scan of the label picture with my phone and sorted.

I have been happily married to my wonderful wife for 51 years and I would just like AI to help me understand how her mind works.  I think I could be married to her for another 51 years and still be no closer to working it out.  it's my anniversary in 2 weeks time, as long as she doesn't read this post.

Come up with the perfect nutrition and exercise plan specific to me.

Helping to fight crime and make our lives safer.

Be my personal travel agent and help me search for the perfect holiday specifying my own criteria, let me narrow down the choices it initially offers and then return me all relevant details on those preferred choices (giving details of the sources of the data so I can see if I trust them).  Then find me the best price.
