Investigating artificial intelligence as a threat to translators' positions

Abstract EN

The career of human translators is currently under threat due to automation, which many anticipate will eventually be supplanted by artificial intelligence.

According to translators, Artificial intelligence is projected to replace human translators shortly soon.

This article examines the various viewpoints of translators and experts on the controversial topic of machine translation as an artificial intelligence component, which is expected to eliminate thousands of jobs in the near future and automate the translation industry instead of being performed by human translators.

The analysis focuses attention on MT and the threat of replacement.

Two key findings are mentioned.

First, translators and specialists disagree on the claims and threats despite advances in machine translation.

Second, although there has been continuous progress in machine translation, the Arabic Language has a complex system that cannot be readily outperformed by Artificial intelligence.

This article argues for the proper use of AI to ensure a high-quality translation.
