Project Details
Abstract
Using ethnographic methods, this study explores the digitalisation of the
language interpreting industry, focusing on the impact of remote- and
platform-based solutions, artificial intelligence, and natural language
processing. It examines the social, ethical, and organisational implications of
these technologies on professional practices, linguistic access, and service
delivery. It does so by comparing three major interpreting hubs in Europe
(Belgium, United Kingdom, and Italy) with Qatar, each spearheading in the
sector thanks to their industry primacy and national efforts towards
digitalisation. This project contributes to both scholarly and industry
knowledge by offering novel, critical insights for sustainable digital
development and language accessibility in the communication economy.
