Understanding AI Maturity in Localization: A Self-Assessment Guide

What does it really mean to be “AI mature” in the localization industry?

In this episode of Localization Today, Eddie Arrieta sits down with Gabriel Karandyšovský, industry researcher and consultant at Gabe’s Lab and Argos Multilingual, to explore the AI Maturity Model—a framework designed to help localization teams understand where they stand in their AI journey. From AI-Aware to AI-Transformed, Gabe walks us through the five stages, the reasoning behind the model, and how companies can assess their current stage in less than 20 minutes.

We also discuss how different teams adopt AI at different speeds, the evolving roles within localization, and the real-world value of mapping progress.
