Session

After overviewing the two main AI translation technologies, I will present a big-picture view of AI and its potential impact on the labor market, both broadly and for translators/interpreters. This is by necessity a synthesis of neuroscience, psychology, evolutionary biology, quantum physics, and the philosophy of consciousness. My argument that humans will be aided rather than replaced by AI hinges on the bi-hemisphere structure of our brains and the advantages that living cells have over silicon chips. We will also discuss the potential for the trickling down of bespoke AI models to empower freelancers over the large agencies.
