Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into translation practice, teaching, and research has transformed the domain of translation. In translation practice, AI-driven tools such as neural machine translation (NMT) systems enhance efficiency, enabling translators to process large volumes of text rapidly and assisting translators in terms of consistency, such as the use of terminologies. However, this integration raises concerns, including issues of quality and sensitive or controversial content, necessitating a balanced approach combining AI capabilities with human expertise.

In the field of teaching, AI introduces opportunities and challenges. Educators can leverage AI tools to make students aware that the field of translation has evolved with the integration of AI, enhancing their understanding of contemporary translation practices. At the same time, educators must equip students with the critical skills to navigate emerging concerns and address the limitations of AI.

The area of research in AI and translation is also evolving, focusing on improving machine translation (MT) ability, delving into immediate concerns, and exploring the potential of AI to augment human translation. Research along these lines study methods to blend AI and human expertise while handling concerns such as ethical issues. AI-translator integration, driven from these research outcomes, promises to maximize the benefits of both, ensuring that AI tools complement rather than replace human translators.

This paper offers responses to the utilization of AI in translation, ensuring that the integration is effective and ethically sound. The ongoing assimilation between AI capabilities and human expertise is crucial in shaping the future of translation.
