It’s only just begun. Generative AI is fast evolving, and we will see new milestones every year until 2030 and beyond. We will see interactive AI get better and adaptive AI become a thing. In the language services and language tech world, artificial intelligence (AI) is already reshaping career trajectories and professional roles.

Where to next?

This panel will discuss How AI is Shaping Careers in Language Services and Language Tech; We will delve into the transformative impact of AI technologies in these fields and explore the adoption of AI tools, the challenges and opportunities they present, the essential skills and training for professionals, and the ethical considerations. We'll also discuss the enduring significance of the human touch in language services and provide insights into the future trends that professionals can expect.
