Convergence and AI and Localization
The language industry and the AI industry are destined to work together. The two need each other more so than any other combination of industries. After all, it is Language models that AI is built on. All our knowledge is coded and transmitted in human language.
AI companies need human language data on all subject matters, in large quantities and of high quality. The localization industry on the other hand is pivoting to becoming the service integrators for AI. The business is moving away from the core of translation production into a plethora of new use cases.
Convergence of AI and localization is the central theme of the TAUS Massively Multilingual Conference. This is where innovation is happening.
An Ideas Market
Two questions are central in the discussions at the TAUS M2 AI Conference and run through all the sessions:
How does the AI revolution impact the localization industry?
How do translation services pivot to become AI integrators?
The two-days conference will be an ideas market where panel conversations are alternated with short lighting talks by industry veterans and newcomers and each day ends with roundtable discussions in smaller settings (maximum eight) to align on the winning ideas of the day and recommendations for best practices.
Lightning Talks
The media are bursting with opinions and visions of AI everyday. For business leaders it is very hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. You are doomed if you don’t implement AI quickly in your business. But you are equally doomed if you bet on the wrong AI strategy.
Lightning Talks is a new feature at the TAUS M2 AI Conference aimed at giving attendees the opportunity to get deep insights in the AI strategies implemented by industry peers. In a short and crisp presentation (ten minutes on the clock) they share their story. Whether it’s a vision, a solution, a process or a product, every Lightning Talk presenter ends with a clear message to the audience: a lesson they learned and a recommendation to everyone in the room.
At the end of each day the conference participants will debate the recommendations in the round tables (groups of eight) and then vote for the best Lightning Talk of the day.
