The Machines. Hearing that phrase, I can\u2019t help but to think about sci-fi movies like, The Terminator and I, Robot. I also can\u2019t help but to wonder how far away we really are from seeing Artificial Intelligence advance to the state that they\u2019re at in these movies. This year at the 2019 GALA Conference which will be held in Munich, set to kick-off from March 24 \u2013 27, this will be one of the topics discussed at the event.
\nNow while Machines in relation to how it will be spoken about at this conference will obviously be related to the translation industry, and where it will leave humans once AI technology does advance to the point where the need for human translation could be somewhat questionable\u2014it really does make you at least consider that maybe someday we might actually see robots working in the translation industry instead of humans. Think about it and ask yourself:
\n–How far away are we really from possibly seeing this happen?
\n–How will it affect the translation industry as a whole, and also other industries that collaborate and do business with translation companies?<\/p>\n
First and foremost, we acknowledge and respect that AI will go far in its advancement and do great things for business productivity and profits. But at the same time, we also believe that it certainly has a long way to go. Increasing the effectiveness of human translation, for now, should definitely stay a key goal for translation businesses of today. To bet too soon and too much on AI and neglect what\u2019s already working would be a reckless decision for business. Making sure you get the most out of what\u2019s currently working for your company is what will elevate it to the next level and guarantee it a more secure and promising future.<\/p>\n
The theme of this year\u2019s conference is, \u201cThe Language of Business, The Business of Language.\u201d<\/a> And besides many other interesting topics concerning AI that\u2019ll be discussed at this event, some of the others include:<\/p>\n –Human Responses to a Changing Industry
\n–Innovation in Translation Sales
\n–The Need for Translators Who Are Domain Experts
\n…And other topics related to the theme of the event<\/p>\n
