  "account": "Angela Merkel, former German Chancellor, expressed her desire for a robot with artificial intelligence to assist her with household chores when she's older. She shared her thoughts at the Digital X event of Deutsche Telekom in Köln, mentioning that such robots currently exist but are not yet practical. Merkel believes AI will improve people's lives, particularly in medicine and education, but also warned about the risks of dependence on large providers and the need for global agreements on AI. She uses AI to gather information for her speeches, but writes them herself.",
  "summary": "When Angela Merkel left the Chancellor's office in 2021, most people probably couldn't do much with the abbreviation AI. Today, artificial intelligence applications are moving the masses. Does Merkel use AI?",
