Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence is changing the interpreting profession, and most interpreters are getting conflicting, confusing, or incomplete information about what that actually means. This course cuts through the noise with a clear, honest conversation about where AI fits in our field today.

You'll learn about the two major frameworks shaping the industry right now: the SAFE-AI Guidance and the NCIHC Guidance for healthcare organizations. We'll break down the five levels of AI involvement, from fully human-generated interpretation to fully AI-generated machine translation, so you understand exactly where the line is between AI as a tool and AI as a replacement.

We'll also cover the four ethical principles driving industry standards: end-user autonomy, safety and wellbeing, transparency, and accountability. And because this isn't just an ethics conversation, we'll walk through the real legal landscape, including Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and IDEA, so you know what the law actually requires when AI is involved in interpreting services.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to speak confidently and accurately about AI with clients, agencies, hospitals, and colleagues, without fear-mongering and without pretending the technology isn't here. This is the honest conversation our profession needs.
