Are higher education institutions ready to embrace the new AI reality in the language
Are higher education institutions ready to embrace the new AI reality in the language industry? 👩🎓👩🎓👩🎓 At the ESTIDIA – European Society for Transcultural and Interdisciplinary Dialogue conference at Mykolas Romeris University, Eurotradus CEO, Dainius Sabaliauskas, and COO, Aurimas Novikovas, presented “The Impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the Language Industry: The Transformative Shift from Translators to Language Specialists.”
Here are the key points of the presentation:
- Localization volumes have grown significantly.
- Machine translation (MT) may now account for 60–70% of all translation output by volume.
- Many global companies are integrating AI and MT into international communication.
- The efficiency of localized content has increased.
- Translation companies are transitioning into language technology hubs.
- The role of translators has evolved into post-editors and language specialists.
- Higher education institutions need to train a new generation of language talents.
- Some companies decide not to use professional language services for internal communication.
- Pricing strategies have changed.
- New risks for language service providers (LSPs).
The New Normal presents both challenges and opportunities. The key for LSPs is to adapt technology and combine human expertise with MT solutions.
Lifelong learning and the development of new skills are crucial for language professionals:
- Post-Editing & Subject Matter Expertise
- Deep Language Expertise & Cultural Competency
- MT/AI Literacy & Computational Linguistics
- Project Management & Problem-Solving
The Eurotradus team is pleased to share that its former Project Manager, Julija Jančak (Kleščiova), has now dedicated her life to teaching students about language technologies at Mykolas Romeris University and Vilnius Business College. She was also one of the presenters at the ESTIDIA conference. Let’s shape the future of the language industry together! 💪
