Choosing the Right AI Interpreting Solution: challenges and approaches
Interpreting SIG Meeting - June 2026
This event is FREE for members and nonmembers.
As the AI ecosystem evolves rapidly and new AI interpreting tools are released, choosing the right solution isn’t always straightforward. This panel brings together Peter Argondizzo (Argo Translation), Andreea Danielescu (Wordly), and academic expert Tomasz Korybsky (University of Warsaw) for an open discussion on what really matters when evaluating these technologies.
Rather than a one-way presentation, this session will focus on sharing perspectives from the industry, tech provider and academia, exploring both the practical challenges (like latency, stability, and UX) and the more nuanced dilemma of what defines quality in AI interpreting across languages and contexts.
The panel will compare approaches, reflect on lessons learned, and exchange views on how AI interpreting should be assessed and compared to human interpreting.
By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with a clearer framework, practical evaluation criteria, and the perspective needed to make informed, future‑proof decisions as AI interpreting continues to evolve. We look forward to an insightful conversation!
