SAFE AI created guidance for the use of AI in interpreting. It focuses on autonomy, safety and accountability for the end-user as well as transparency of the AI quality. #Interpretation #LanguageServices #Innovation

This comprehensive guide developed by the SAFE-AI Task Force describes criteria for the safe, fair and ethical development and implementation of machine interpreting (interpreting products using artificial intelligence). It establishes four fundamental principles: ·       End-User Autonomy ·       Evidence of Improving Safety and Wellbeing for End-Users ·       Transparency of AI Quality for the General Public ·       Accountability by Companies for Errors and Harm to End-Users #machineinterpretation #ai #interpretation #artificialintelligence Danny Galvez, Rob Christensen, Erik Kingston, PCED

Geeta Pillai  27 Feb 2024 13:22 EST "The Advisory Group on AI and Sign Language Interpreting recently unveiled a comprehensive report, spotlighting the urgent need for regulatory measures to ensure the ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI) in automated sign language interpreting. This pivotal document, derived from a detailed survey of American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting service users, aims to establish a robust legal framework to safeguard both the social and technological integrity of AI-mediated interpreting Unpacking the Report's Findings The report meticulously balances the social implications and the technological advancements necessary for AIxAI's ethical application in sign language interpreting. It emphasizes the critical need for establishing clear standards and benchmarks to guarantee the technology's effectiveness and ethical usage. The Advisory Group's findings draw attention to the nuanced social dynamics and cultural norms inherent in interpersonal interactions, underscoring their significance in the development and deployment of AI technologies for ASL interpreting." metaglossia_mundus: https://lnkd.in/gBhRTMfz

These shifts concern not only digital applications available for widespread consumption, including what we know as artificial intelligence (AI)-driven applications, but also the ways we interact and collaborate/co-create with this technology. At its core, AI is a tool that processes and generates human-like language. The power it holds and the impact it has are the reflection of the design and deployment choices people make. The lack of focus on equity and ethical considerations in AI design can exacerbate existing social inequalities and marginalise vulnerable communities even further.

Ethical Principles for Adopting Human-generated or AI Technology Language Interpretation Services.   The responsible implementation of human-generated language interpretation and AI interpreting technology hinges on several key principles: explicit, opt-in informed consent, complete transparency, and strict adherence to ethical standards for each modality. Here’s how this can be put into practice in different settings: Medical Consultations: It’s of utmost importance that patients and healthcare providers are fully informed about the use of AI-assisted or human generated language interpretation. Healthcare providers should have a comprehensive understanding of each option's potential benefits and limitations. This knowledge equips them to provide the best possible care. Ensuring that participants are free to opt-in or opt-out guarantees that their consent is both informed and voluntary. Legal Settings: Clients should be thoroughly briefed on using human-generated or AI technology language interpreting services. This includes explaining how AI technology interpretation' function, the extent of human oversight, and the confidentiality measures in place. Understanding these details helps clients make well-informed decisions about the services they receive. Educational Institutions: When implementing AI language interpreting technology tools for functions like parent-teacher meetings or discussions about Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), it’s crucial to provide clear and comprehensive documentation on how these tools aid or create conflicts. The documentation, which promotes transparency and trust, ensures that parents and guardians are well-informed. It enables them to make educated decisions regarding the use of AI language-generated technology. Adopting these ethical principles makes sure that your chosen solutions will enhance communication without compromising all parties' integrity. For more infos visit Dialog One's website.

The temptation to use so-called “artificial intelligence” (really, human intelligence regurgitated artificially) for translation and interpreting has never been greater. Why not, because “it works”! But what does “it works” really mean? Watch out for the numerous pitfalls. It may be fast, it may be able to produce words by the second, it may always be available, but do you want speed and quantity, or quality for your event? In UN Today, a warning is sent as to data confidentiality, hard to spot inaccuracies, and the fact that “Large Language Models are rife with gender, racial, and anti-LGBTQI bias, according to a recent study done by UNESCO.” After weeks, months preparing your event, watch out for the call of the AI sirens, and opt for experienced humans who will tailor their skills to your event.

Anyuli González Oliver insists that "in its current form, AI cannot replace conference interpreters. For the time being, the possibility of fully automated interpreting solutions remains firmly grounded in the realm of science fiction novels rather than any serious science" Read here: https://lnkd.in/gdAgFgSz #UNToday #AI #interpreting
