Depending on how you mean "AI", I can see 2 uses:

* First, yes you can often use a11y APIs, but OCR is likely to be useful/needed for apps that don't play well with those for whatever reason.

* Once you have the text, I could potentially see value in AI/LLM fuzzy searching; it's easier to say "find something I saw about a new programming language yesterday" than "search for... oh what was the title of that page? Oh, I'll just search for 'language' and hope it was mentioned..."
