Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly developing technology that has the potential to revolutionize many industries, including language translation and interpretation. While AI can bring impressive benefits, it is important to consider the role of humans in the translation and interpretation process.
There are some industries, applications and functions where AI is a more natural fit. According to a report from Brookings, AI is a powerful tool that can help people analyze data and make better decisions [1]. However, it is important to note that AI models are still in their early stages of development and can have flawed output. As such, it is crucial to have human oversight in the translation and interpretation process to catch any errors or biases in the AI’s output. https://www.brookings.edu/research/how-artificial-intelligence-is-transforming-the-world/
Forbes notes that AI can have a big impact on job searches but emphasizes the importance of human involvement in the process [2]. While AI can help with tasks like resume screening and candidate matching, it is still essential for humans to make the final decision in the hiring process. https://www.forbes.com/sites/ashleystahl/2021/03/10/how-ai-will-impact-the-future-of-work-and-life/
In terms of business applications, Harvard Business Review predicts that AI will have the greatest impact in marketing services, supply chain management, and manufacturing [3]. However, it is important to note that the use of AI in these areas still requires human oversight to ensure that the output is accurate and free from biases or errors. https://professional.dce.harvard.edu/blog/business-applications-for-artificial-intelligence-an-update-for-2020/
While AI is a powerful tool that can bring many benefits to the translation and interpretation process, it is crucial to have human oversight to catch any flaws or biases in the AI’s output. As AI continues to develop, it will be important to find a balance between the use of technology and the involvement of humans in order to ensure the best possible outcomes.
