  EP 150 — Every Translation Is a Bet: What Happens When the Bet is Wrong?

  Aug 4, 202639 min

  Join co-hosts Peter Argondizzo and Patrick Daley as they explain why every translation is a bet, and why the only question that matters is what happens when the bet is wrong. They discuss what an automated quality score can and can't tell you, how the same number can be fine on a company picnic invitation and dangerous on dosage instructions, and where a human reviewer still belongs. They also cover why being able to prove you managed the risk matters more than the tools you used.

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

  May 28, 202641 minS1

  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.
