The future of translation

AI’s Transformative Power: Redefining the Future of Translation and Global Communication

Mr. Alex Chernenko, CEO of TRANSLIT, began by expressing his pleasure at participating in his first event in Qatar. He noted that discussions around AI’s impact on various sectors, including translation, often elicit mixed reactions. Some view AI as a disruptive force, while others recognize its potential to revolutionize industries and create new opportunities.

Mr. Chernenko highlighted the significant impact of artificial intelligence on the job market. He cited estimations that approximately 85% of existing jobs would be affected by AI. However, he also pointed out that around 50 million new jobs are expected to be created, particularly in areas related to training and supporting AI’s development and implementation.

This dual impact necessitates a continuous effort to stay updated with the latest knowledge and resources in the rapidly evolving technological landscape. AI has already demonstrated its capability to substantially enhance the quality and speed of translation services, making processes more efficient and accessible than ever before.

Beyond translation, AI’s influence extends to improving processing abilities across various domains. In the context of translation, this means the technology can make the entire process super-efficient. Mr. Chernenko mentioned that some organizations are already leveraging AI chatbots to process and present graphic-like views of websites and integrate visual content effectively.

This advancement ultimately democratizes access to information, breaking down language barriers and making content available to a wider global audience. Looking ahead, the focus is on the future of “light translation processes,” which involve understanding the topic of work through procedures and values at the outset.

He acknowledged that the “light translation process” can be complex and frustrating when language partners encounter difficulties. However, the goal is to raise standards, embrace new possibilities, and foster conversations that lead to better protection and utilization of AI’s powerful capabilities in translation.

Mr. Chernenko concluded by emphasizing the importance of making the most of these advancements, which are visibly powered by AI. He stated that TRANSLIT is proud to share its values, which are highly appreciated in the industry, underscoring their commitment to leveraging technology for effective communication.
