Special episode | Daniela invitée par Sylvie Lemieux | IA en traduction médicale

Posted 0 days ago by Daniela G. Bunoaica via The Translation Podcast with Daniela

J’ai eu le plaisir d’être invitée par Sylvie pour une conversation passionnante autour de l’évolution du métier de traducteur face à l’intelligence artificielle. Au cours de cet échange, j’ai partagé mon parcours de traductrice et interprète roumaine installée au Royaume-Uni, spécialisée dans les domaines juridique et médical, ainsi que mes recherches doctorales sur l’IA appliquée à la traduction médicale. Dans cet épisode, nous abordons notamment :l’essor de la post-édition et de la traduction assistée par l’IA ;l’importance croissante de la spécialisation en traduction juridique, médicale et scientifique ;les limites des modèles d’IA, notamment les hallucinations et les problèmes terminologiques ;l’utilisation responsable de l’intelligence artificielle tout en respectant la confidentialité des données ;la nécessité pour les traducteurs de développer des compétences en marketing, réseautage et entrepreneuriat ;l’importance du contenu authentique dans un monde saturé de contenus générés par l’IA ;l’avenir des agences de traduction, des clients directs et du positionnement des traducteurs.J’y présente également mon projet de doctorat, qui consiste à entraîner des modèles de langage à partir de corpus médicaux spécialisés afin d’améliorer la qualité et la cohérence des traductions, tout en soulignant le rôle essentiel de l’expertise humaine dans notre profession. Une discussion enrichissante pour les traducteurs, interprètes, étudiants en langues et toutes les personnes intéressées par l’avenir de la traduction et les impacts de l’intelligence artificielle sur les métiers linguistiques.#Traduction #IntelligenceArtificielle #TraductionMédicale #Traducteur #Interprétation #PostÉdition #IA #Langues #TechnologiesLinguistiques #Entrepreneuriat #Podcast #TraductionSpécialisée #LLM #MarketingDigital
