This paper discusses people’s everyday engagements with artificial intelligence (AI) tools in diverse community contexts including refugee support groups and participatory arts and health programmes. We draw on two ethnographic vignettes to offer insights into how AI is rapidly changing these environments and shaping how we do research. Acknowledging that AI is more and more a part of people's day-to-day realities means that we must reflect on how our own research lenses expand to navigate this new and continuously evolving landscape. We offer perspectives which foreground reflexive and intercultural approaches, centring participants’ lives and voices whilst maintaining human agency.
