Immediate Industry Impacts from Gen AI in BWX
A paradigm shift in AI-driven technologies has created new opportunities for significant translation productivity gains that are available now.
Savings of 30-40% over current machine translation (MT) are possible to support new market entry and revenue growth, greater automation and operational efficiency, and a more natural user experience. Age old problems such as translation memory (TM) deprecation and maintenance can now be addressed with an entire set of novel tools.
In this forum, industry leader and translation tooling expert Adam Wooten will join James Lin, Localization Program Manager at Uber, and Karla Ceballos, an experienced linguist will join forces to assess the opportunities and challenges new technologies are creating for enterprises, language service providers and translators.
Bureau Works Founder and CEO Gabriel Fairman will also share exciting new advancements in generative language engines, semantic verification, AI content review, and change classification.
They will be joined in a moderated panel by Marina Gracen-Farrel to discuss:
- What’s so interesting about these latest advances available in BWX?
- What type of business applications do they enable and what are their productivity gains?
- How do they learn on the fly to provide better translation matches in a more natural user experience?
- What kinds of age old localization problems can be turned on their heads through Gen AI in BWX?
