Episode 10 - How LSCs are Using AI Today with Gabriel Karandyšovský

A deep dive into the latest ATC Research Insights on how language service companies are using AI today and what's driving adoption The latest ATC Language Industry Report What Kind of LSC Are You is out now. The report maps where the language industry stands in terms of AI adoption, and what exactly is driving it. The report draws on interviews with LSCs of different sizes, ranging from smaller companies with a dozen employees to some of the top UK (and global) LSCs with hundreds of people on staff and dedicated tech teams. The research shows that the field is broadly split into Innovators, Followers and Power Users, and covers pathways and opportunities for all three groups. In this episode of Loc Lessons, hosts Corinne Smith and James Brown are joined by ATC researcher Gabriel Karandyšovský to explore the report's findings. Together they discuss the shifting attitudes towards and drivers for AI adoption in LSCs, the need to balance business growth with looking after people, and the importance of conducting internal AI audits to create efficiencies and reduce risk. As AI becomes more integrated into localisation workflows, client conversations are shifting towards governance. Language service companies need to be ahead of the game so they can advise and guide clients on the risks and limitations of AI in localisation.
