Session

Artificial intelligence is enhancing our ability to order and apply
data in every field of human endeavour. Yet in the realm of translation
its effects are – and may continue to be – both dubious and unreliable.

Why is this? What is it about the nature of language that calls the value of this now universally applied tool into question?

Acclaimed author and translator Roger Pulvers will discuss
whether computers will someday surpass humans in the art of translating,
just as they have conquered humans on the chess board and the ping pong
table.

Is there is a realm of language beyond AI’s reach? Is there such thing as a quantum leap into the human heart?
