Part 1: AI Basics for Interpreters

In this two-hour session, participants will explore the basics of generative artificial intelligence, with a focus on how it can be integrated into the practice of interpretation. We’ll begin by examining real-world examples of AI-powered language tools. Through live demonstrations and guided practice, interpreters will learn how large-language models (LLMs) and generative AI function, where they stand in today’s workflow, and what common misconceptions to watch for.

By the end of the webinar, attendees will have a clear understanding of:

• The basic features in generative AI chatbots

• Prompting fundamentals and expected limitations

• Practical scenarios in which generative AI can support research, terminology extraction, pre-assignment preparation, and practice

Part 2: Beyond the Basics: ASR and Advanced AI Tools for Interpreters

Building on the foundations established in the first session, this two-hour workshop dives into specialized applications and emerging technologies that are reshaping the interpreting field. We’ll survey automatic speech recognition (ASR) apps and platforms and computer-assisted interpreting (CAI) solutions, which can augment both consecutive and simultaneous interpreting workflows.

Through hands-on demonstrations and guided practice, participants will:

• Learn about leading ASR engines

• Explore CAI environments that combine terminology management, real-time transcription, and machine translation previews

• Identify practical use cases for post-assignment review, quality assurance, and continuing education (e.g., using AI to generate glossaries or to self-evaluate interpreting recordings)
