Artificial Intelligence is everywhere these days. Many thought-leaders regularly trumpet the expectation that we are just months or a few years away from having machines replace humans in both translation and interpreting. Our clients are increasingly expecting efficient, AI-based interpreting (replacing humans) when such tools, do not in fact, currently exist. Join Barry Olsen and Katharine Allen of InterpretAmerica in this informative webinar describing how AI is impacting (or not) the interpreting market and what trends to look for in the near future.
