With the rise of generative AI the world of localization has shifted from conventional processes to the need for speed to implement these new technologies.
AI is moving fast and it can do much more than translating. It is proven to be a great help to accommodate more volume and reduce cost, but implementing it in the right way, making sure everything is set up correctly, that the quality is exceptional and that it produces the desired saving is not an easy task.
In this collaborative roundtable, attendees will have the chance to discuss best practices around this topic, focusing on measuring quality, cost and speed, how to deal with change management and stakeholders and how to optimize the existing workflows to accommodate the change.
Key Takeaways
The attendees will have the chance to collaborate and share the knowledge around this topic, tackling challenges together to identify best practices in the industry and bring back all the learnings to their daily work, to ultimately manage to implement AI in the localization workflow in the best way possible.
Experience
This Virtual Round Table is tailored to those on the client side, professionals who are actively implementing AI solutions, or, attempting to do so.
