EP 149 — What Gartner's Recent AI Layoff Study Means for the Translation Industry

from Translation Confidential · host Peter Argondizzo | Translation Services Firm Founder

Join co-hosts Peter Argondizzo and Patrick Daley as they break down a recent Gartner study and what it means for the translation industry. The study found that 80% of large companies cut jobs for AI, yet those cuts did not improve financial returns. Peter and Patrick connect the Gartner findings to real risks for language service providers, including the brand damage that comes from replacing skilled linguists with AI, the questions buyers should ask their providers about AI use, and the difference between using AI to grow the business and using AI to reduce headcount.
