S3E8 - Joachim Lépine - AI

Source 2 Target

Our guest for this episode is Joachim Lépine, who joins us to talk about artificial intelligence (AI), and the impact it is already having – and will only continue to have – on the translation profession, and how translators can best navigate this brave new world by emphasising the value that humans bring to the translation process.

Guest:

Joachim (Joe) Lépine was born into a French-speaking family in Belgium and grew up in the U.S.A. before moving to Quebec in 2006. When he took his first translation course—on a whim—he knew he had found his calling.

He went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in translation and a master’s degree in education. In the ensuing years, he translated for a myriad of prestigious clients in Quebec and abroad.

To share his passion for the craft, over the past 15 years, Joe has taught French-into-English translation and related courses at Université de Sherbrooke and trained for NATO, the United Nations, the European Commission, OTTIAQ, Magistrad, Editors Canada, the Translation Bureau, ITI (UK), Training for Translators (USA), and many others.

Today he is the cofounder of LION Translation Academy, which offers training to help translators and translation teams to thrive in every area of their practice. Links you can include at the end:
