Artificial Intelligence is gaining ground in the translation industry

Not long ago Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, wrote in a tweet: “Yes, excessive automation at Tesla was a mistake. To be precise, my mistake. Humans are underrated”. 

Well, the translation industry, like every other industry, is at the cusp of a revolution with the adoption of AI into businesses processes. Embracing AI is a positive step?

Fact: Artificial Intelligence is gaining ground in the translation industry and due to this, an adaption to this phenomenon will be needed. This change will reach not only a niche of the market, but it will also affect everybody and those who are not ready could suffer continuous losses concerning the competition.

How to be ready for this change? These questions demonstrate the concerns of Language Service Providers (LSP) regarding changes brought by Artificial Intelligence.

• Just what is AI?
• Will AI cannibalize revenue in the industry?
• Will there be winners and losers from AI?
• How much can I gain from investing in automation now?
• Will my current language software vendors add AI components?

AP Portugal - Tech Language Solutions has already taken measures to accompany Artificial Intelligence closely, one of the most illustrative is the active associativism - the participation in associations in the language sector and the presence in conferences that treat these subjects.

As an active member of this association, AP PORTUGAL will have access GALA 2019 and to more information about these and other topics. If you decide to participate in the conference let us know and you can meet up with AP Portugal Tech Language Solutions CEO, Mário Júnior.

To find out more about “GALA 2019” visit the contest's programme.

AP|PORTUGAL, as a GALA member and a company certified by the ISO international quality regulation 17100, also demands quality from its partners.
