Machine Translation/AI Round Table

The inaugural Machine Translation (MT)/AI Round Table aims to bring together members of the localization community who are interested in implementing and opening new frontiers of MT/AI-driven processes in their business, including human resources and other aspects of localization project management. To help the participants to better engage in the discussions, LocWorld partners with the American Machine Translation Association (AMTA) to organize a preparation online session before the round table and a follow-up tutorial online session after to fill in the knowledge gaps that participants will have in exploring their MT/AI deployment strategies.
