With AI, a person could take a photo of the Spanish description and the exhibit would be instantly translated to English - saving time and money.

Should the museum use AI and save money or should they hire someone to translate manually?
You don't need AI for that. You just need Lens, if you have an android phone, I'm sure there's one for apples. Or, next time you go to a country where Spanish is the primary language spoken, make sure you've learned at least a passing conversational Spanish before you pack your bags for the trip.
