New AI tech: What are you afraid of?
Description
It’s official: Not only has the neural machine translation (NMT) “train” left the station, but the AI caboose is careening toward the bend. Are you settled comfortably in first class, or running desperately to catch up? Join us for a frank conversation about the fears, rewards, and reactions associated with these paradigm-shifting technologies. We’ll explore the benefits of NMT and AI, the skills needed to postedit NMT and AI output, and the great pricing debate. We’ll also talk about “fit for purpose” and look at how freelancers might view NMT and AI as tools to be turned to our advantage. Finally, we’ll give you a glimpse into how we’ve integrated these tools into our respective workflows to boost our productivity and bottom lines. Get ready for plenty of reflection and straight talk as we explore a hot topic with profound implications for our profession. Save the Date!
