Abstract:

Automated translations can break down language barriers and increase
access to information, but they can also be highly inaccurate. This
timely book explores the social challenges and ethical considerations
of using artificial intelligence (AI) translations in high-stakes
professional environments. Based on contributions from over two
thousand professionals from critical sectors including healthcare,
social work, emergency services and the police, the analysis explores
the motivations and consequences of multilingual uses of AI across
these sectors. Real-life examples provided throughout the book bring
home the delicate balance of risks and benefits of using AI to serve
and communicate with multilingual communities. By drawing on concepts
such as virtue, trust, empathy and AI literacy, this book makes a case
for nuance and flexibility, defends the value of language access, and
calls for greater transparency in the development and deployment of AI
translation tools. This title is also available as open access on
Cambridge Core.
