TRANSLATION AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Hanin Shougary¹

Advances in artificial intelligence are enhancing translation practices. In such a fast-paced era, the demand for rapid information exchange is on the rise. At this point, such tools are of critical importance, especially AI-powered translation tools, which enable intellectuals to work across languages. This study explores how AI-powered translation improves efficiency, consistency, and accessibility. AI-based translation systems significantly reduce the time required to perform academic tasks due to their immediate responses. This substantially enhances the overall productivity in academic workflows. Additionally, in specific fields of expertise, accuracy is vital to ensure consistency in terminology. This leads to a uniformity of terms in different texts, maintaining coherence in academic discourse. The reason why this is particularly important is that even minor inconsistencies can lead to misinterpretations and misapprehensions. Furthermore, AI tools are considered important devices that assist non-native English speakers in scholarly communication and in their contributions to international academic communities. This reflects enhanced accessibility to academic content by enabling users to engage with and understand scholarly materials regardless of linguistic proficiency. AI is defined as an assistant that facilitates the translation process and produces clearer and more structured texts, rather than a substitute for human translators. AI-assisted translation represents a significant development in applied linguistics, particularly in the field of English for Academic Purposes, where accuracy and clarity are crucial. Thus, the act of integrating artificial intelligence in academic contexts leads to effective communication and broader access to knowledge, asserting the notable contributions of artificial intelligence in translation procedures.
