Inhabiting the Translational Space in Times of Artificial Intelligence
Dear colleagues,
Drawing on Translation Studies theory, this seminar will explore the encounter of human and artificial intelligence in the field of applied translation.
A range of AI translation tools will be listed, thoroughly described and their efficacy analysed in different sectors and languages.
The session is designed for professional translators, translation students, and language practitioners who wish to better understand how artificial intelligence is transforming the translation landscape.
Participants will gain insights into current tools and are invited to join the discussion on the future of the profession in the age of intelligent technologies.
