Abstract: In response to the increasing demand for translation and interpretation services globally, this paper examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with human expertise as an optimal approach to enhancing quality and efficiency. The study delves into the evolving dynamics between AI technologies and human professionals in the translation industry, providing a thorough analysis of AI’s benefits and limitations. While AI excels in processing large volumes of text rapidly and broadening language coverage, it often lacks the ability to fully grasp contextual meanings, cultural subtleties, and ethical implications. Human translators and interpreters, on the other hand, bring essential skills in contextual refinement, cultural understanding, and specialized knowledge to bridge these gaps. This paper advocates for a collaborative model that leverages AI as a support tool to amplify human strengths rather than replacing human expertise. Through case studies, the paper showcases successful implementations of AI-human collaboration and explores future technological advancements that could further transform the industry. It concludes by urging industry professionals, organizations, and policymakers to promote research, training, and collaborative efforts that support a balanced and effective fusion of AI technology and human talent in translation and interpretation.
