The second of two introductory webinars presented by The University of Surrey, Centre for Translation Studies, aimed at tackling the issues surrounding AI and its impact on the language industry.
Navigating the constant influx of news about AI and its impact on the language industry can be overwhelming. Faced with contrasting perspectives on the benefits of AI and concerns about staying relevant in a world where AI appears to take centre-stage, language professionals need to address two pressing questions:
- Can AI-driven tools help enhance your capabilities and strengthen your role as a language professional in today’s market?
- What are the most compelling arguments you can present to your clients about AI, to underscore the fundamental role that translators and interpreters continue to play in the era of AI?
This second webinar will examine the potential of selected AI technologies for translators and interpreters and the changes that these technologies bring to professional practice. Topics include the use of neural machine translation by translators, the application of speech recognition technology in interpreting, and the role of AI in supporting creative work.
In addition, the two webinars will enable participants to:
- Be equipped with practical strategies to assess different viewpoints on the capabilities of AI tools in real-world translation and interpreting contexts
- Have confidence to make informed decisions about integrating AI tools in their own professional practice
- Be able to clarify the capabilities and limitations of AI technologies when dealing with clients.
