There’s a lot more to pro bono work than simply “translating for free”. In this talk we’ll do a quick tour of the personal, professional and social benefits this endeavour brings, with a chance to ask questions at the end.

"Surviving cataclysms in the language services industry"

Claudia Brauer will discuss how to survive the current "cataclysm" in translation and interpreting, brought about by the combination of Machine Translation and Artificial Intelligence. We must now rethink our jobs: what we do, how, where, and when. Let's talk about what is happening in our front yard, who will feel the impact, what to do to secure our future as professionals, and how to deal with the progressive replacement of "us" (humans) with new software coming from the development of large language models.
