About Event
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the global translation landscape, its use in minority and Indigenous language translation faces unique challenges.
In this session, we will explore some of the major factors when training and using AI models in Canadian contexts, including:
🔹 Data scarcity with low-resource languages;
🔹 Data sovereignty and community protocols;
🔹 Differences between how Indigenous and European languages encode and communicate ideas.
The ultimate takeaway: AI cannot replace the nuance, knowledge of cultural contexts, and lived experience of human translators. In Indigenous and minority language translation, human expertise remains irreplaceable.
