For translators\, this is a second wave of AI hype after the advent of neural machine translation ei ght years ago. This workshop aims to cut through the hype\, looking at the technology behind current AI\, ethics and sustainability implications\, a nd what we can reasonably expect from AI output. The principle should be t hat the level of automation should equate to the value\, shelf-life\, risk \, and impact of the task. With that in mind\, we consider ways that we ea ch might actually use AI for low-stakes tasks (should we want to)\, to see whether we can perceive a benefit rather than just a threat.\nSpeaker\nJo ss Moorkens is an Associate Professor of Translation Technology at Dublin City University\, where he leads the ADAPT research centre group on machin e translation. He's on the board of the European Masters in Translation Ne twork\, coedits Translation Spaces\, and coauthored the textbook Translati on Tools and Technologies (Routledge) along with a forthcoming textbook Au tomating Translation (Routledge). He is coeditor of a new issue of the Jou rnal of Specialised Translation on Translation Automation and Sustainabili ty.\nCost\nWorkshop:\nITI Scottish Network members: free\nITI members (but not ScotNet): £10\nNon-ITI members: £25\nStudents: free\nPlease indicat e the relevant amount on the registration form.\nLunch:\nParticipants will be able to pay for their meal individually at the restaurant.\nRegistrati on\nTo register for the ITI ScotNet Spring Workshop 2024\, please either f ill in this form online and return it to treasurer@itiscotland.org.uk and make the payment online\, or print and fill in the form manually and post it\, together with a cheque for the relevant amount\, to Norma Tait\, 16/1 2 East Pilton Farm Rigg\, Edinburgh\, EH5 2GE\, by Friday 8 March 2024 at the latest.
