Been sitting on this for a few weeks as I have been overwhelmed with prep and delivery of online courses, but some GREAT news: #MTLiteracy project has received a 5-year grant from @SSHRC_CRSH. That's right, folks, there will be 5 more years of #MTLiteracy stuff coming your way!

Join us next week for a roundtable about the use of MT in public services, focusing on Lucas Vieira's groundbreaking work on UK public service workers' use of AI translation tools as well as other aspects of #PublicServiceMT. With @lnunesvieira and @bowkerl
‘How Machine Translation is used in Public Services’ is the subject in the next in our series of online Roundtable discussions on 17 October. The University of Bristol has partnered with CIOL to publish a survey of UK public service workers on their use of machine translation or artificial intelligence (AI) for translation. The survey has been conducted by Dr Lucas Nunes Vieira, who will take a leading part in the discussion and will be joined by project reviewers Professor Lynne Bowker and Dr Mary Nurminen, with CIOL's Dom Hebblethwaite hosting the discussion. We'll explore the extent to which MT and other AI tools are being used for translation by public service workers. We'll also discuss the challenges and risks posed, whether these practices can be stopped, and whether appropriate policies are in place.
