In a memorable presentation during SlatorCon Silicon Valley on September 5, 2024, Silvio Picinini of eBay challenged the translation industry to rethink its processes in light of the transformative capabilities of language AI. The Language and Data Quality Manager asked attendees, “What if we only had language AI? What if we built this from scratch today, at scale?” His presentation examined the implications of language AI for translation management systems (TMSs), context, glossaries, and evaluation, ultimately questioning the role of humans in this evolving environment. Picinini began by defining language AI and emphasizing the key differences between it and previous machine translation (MT) models: language AI operates in the realm of numbers, while traditional MT processes are based on words. This fundamental shift enables language AI to capture meaning and context in ways that were previously impossible.
