The Evolution of AI in Language Services
The podcast highlights the significant shifts in the language services industry due to advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). Previously, the industry saw monumental changes with the introduction of technology such as translation memory systems and neural machine translation. The current focus has shifted toward large language models (LLMs) and deep learning, marking a new era of disruption. This transformation necessitates that companies embrace AI not just as an enhancement but as a core component of their service offerings, particularly in catering to diverse languages and cultures.
