Interpreting SIG Meeting October 2024

Agenda

This session will focus on the evolving role of Human and AI interpreters, with a deep dive into certification and sourcing practices.

Our key discussion points include:

• Current certification standards for human interpreters: What exists today, and where are the gaps?
• The future of AI certification: Is it inevitable? What metrics should be used to assess AI interpretation tools—accuracy, response time, context awareness, consistency, and more?

Join us as we explore these questions and shape the future of interpretation together.

Note: SIG meetings are not recorded, so please feel free to join the live meeting for however long your schedule allows.
