SUMMARY:Some Uncomfortable Truths about Machine Interpreting
DESCRIPTION:Explore the future of human interpreting in the age of AI\, addressing the fears and opportunities posed by machine interpreting while unveiling essential insights to empower you in an evolving landscape!\nChatGPT has taken the world by storm and newspapers are full of predictions that interpreters will lose their jobs in the near future. But what does machine interpreting actually mean for interpreters? Will it put us out of work or will it create work? Will it turn us all into interpreting post-editors or is there a future where our work is still as creative as it is now? \nBased on the book\, Interpreters vs Machines: Can Interpreters Survive in an AI-Dominated World? and with updates to reflect recent changes\, this webinar will cover many possible futures for human interpreting and what it might take for them to become true. It will also delve into how the threat and opportunities of machine interpreting have revealed some uncomfortable truths about how we talk about\, market\, and understand our own work and the changes we will need to make to survive in any future where machine interpreting exists. \nBy attending this webinar\, you will:\n\nEmbrace the reality that ignoring machine interpreting is not a viable strategy.\nDiscover the enduring presence of machine interpreting and its integration into client demands.\nRecognize that precision alone is insufficient in the evolving interpreting landscape.\nBid farewell to the concept of the “invisible interpreter.”\n\nAbout the Presenter\nJonathan Downie is a consultant church interpreter\, conference interpreter\, and interpreting researcher based in Edinburgh. He is the author of two books: Being a Successful Interpreter: Adding Value and Delivering Excellence (Routledge\, 2016)\, and Interpreters vs Machines: Can Interpreters Survive in an AI-Dominated World? (Routledge\, 2019). He also co-hosts The Church Interpreting Podcast with Lauryn Albizu and edits churchinterpreting.com. As a former co-host of the Troublesome Terps podcast\, he has discussed interpreting technology\, including machine interpreting since 2017.

SUMMARY:Know Your Worth: Negotiating Tips
DESCRIPTION:What if negotiating was fun? Learn how to get what you want and get what you deserve.\nAs language professionals\, we probably haven’t received much training in business skills. But the saying “You are only worth what you can negotiate” is a truism in all business! Clients and prospective clients constantly ask us to work for less\, for longer hours\, or in conditions that we do not wish to accept. Our dream would be to have them pay us a fee that reflects the value that we bring to them. What usually happens\, however\, is that we think clients have all the power and we get scared\, so we end up taking the job for whatever fee the client suggests\, just so we can avoid negotiating. \nBut it doesn’t have to be that way. You can negotiate the fees and conditions that you want\, and both parties can feel like they have made a good deal. This webinar will give you an insight into how negotiating works – so you may support your client relationships. \nBy attending his webinar\, you will:\n\nRecognize some negotiating games and tactics used by your clients\nUnderstand when something is a negotiation and when it isn’t\nNegotiate like an equal\n\nAbout the Presenter\nJulia Poger is a business\, conference and diplomatic interpreter fluent in English\, Russian\, and French. With over 30 years of experience working with governments\, NGOs\, corporations and international organizations\, Julia gives clients insights\, a roadmap\, and confidence to win more business at higher fees and with better terms. After launching her Know Your Worth seminar in 2002\, she has helped hundreds of interpreters\, translators\, public figures\, coaches\, and other service providers understand how to deliver their message to clients. Julia loves to travel\, and is able to order meals like a local within hours—though she is sometimes surprised at what she receives!

SUMMARY:"Translators" Film: An ATA Virtual Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:This roundtable addresses the challenges of asking children to work as interpreters and the trauma it can cause.\nJoin ATA for a free virtual roundtable to discuss the depiction of children as interpreters in the film Translators\, directed by Rudy Valdez and presented by U.S. Bank. A diverse panel of language services industry experts\, including researchers\, language access advocates\, and former child interpreters\, will provide insights into the issue\, explaining how the film highlights many of the challenges child interpreters can experience and how people who need professional interpreters can avail themselves of their federally protected rights to access them. \nThe panel will discuss a review of the film and the issues it presents\, analyze the challenges of offering “meaningful” language access for LEP individuals\, and suggest solutions to avoid placing the language brokering burden on children. Members of the press have also been invited to attend to help spread the word about this important issue. \nThe discussion will be presented in English\, with Spanish and American Sign Language interpreting and live professional captioning.\nRead Recap of Roundtable \nQuestions?\nContact ATA’s Advocacy Committee at advocacy@atanet.org.
