Perspectives on Technology and Interpreting: Advances in Automation and Artificial Intelligence

This volume provides a timely and authoritative account of how digital innovation, automation, and artificial intelligence are reshaping interpreting. Once considered a peripheral aid, technology now stands at the centre of professional practice, influencing how interpreters prepare, perform, and reflect on their work.

Organised into four thematic sections, the volume explores the integration of language technologies, AI-driven tools, and computer-assisted and remote interpreting systems. Leading international contributors examine how digital resources are transforming interpreter education, performance, and research while redefining professional identity and cognitive practice.

Combining theoretical insight with empirical evidence, the collection offers a concise road map to the profession's rapid technologisation. It is essential reading for researchers, educators, students, and professionals in translation and interpreting studies who wish to understand how human expertise and artificial intelligence interact in shaping the future of multilingual communication.
