Geoff Koby, Ph.D., professor of Translation Studies and German, certified freelance translator and president of the American Translators Association (ATA), said artificial intelligence is inescapable in translation and interpretation now. In his role at the ATA, the largest professional association for practicing translators and interpreters in the world, Koby has had significant exposure to machine translation.
“Anybody graduating now as a translator is going to be faced with a very different landscape than I encountered 30 years ago when I started translating,” Koby said.
