Current generative AI technologies (most notably large language models – LLMs) increase considerably the scope of tasks that can be (semi-)automated in the language industry and in other professional fields. This Translating Europe Workshop aims to explore how these AI technologies (re)shape job profiles and production processes in the language industry and how they impact the competences required by the professional users of these technologies.
We are looking forward to seeing you at our online workshop (in EN) on 13 November from 9 a.m.
