Translation errors like translating the Botin Centre to 'Loot Center' showcase the risks of automated translations, especially in critical fields like medical or legal communications.
While current translation technology, such as DARPA's Transtac project achieved 80% accuracy, it is still inadequate in delicate situations where miscommunications could lead to severe outcomes.
The emerging role of AI in translation is positive in rural areas, as seen in India and Africa, where it helps individuals access medical assistance and financial services.
Despite advancements like Meta's smart glasses providing simultaneous translation, the technology remains vulnerable to errors in complex scenarios that demand high accuracy.
