Enhancing Translation Studies with Artificial Intelligence (AI): Challenges, Opportunities, and Proposals

Öz

This theoretical study delves into the symbiotic relationship between Translation Studies and Artificial Intelligence (AI), emphasizing the need for collaboration between these two fields. The study explores the challenges and opportunities for developing Translation Studies with AI and presents proposals for advancing the integration of AI in the field. The integration of AI in translation practices has the potential to enhance translation efficiency, overcome language barriers, and expand access to the information. However, this integration also raises the important ethical considerations, such as the role of human expertise in translation, the accuracy and cultural appropriateness of translations, and the impact of AI on the workforce. The study highlights the importance of integrating AI-related topics into the curriculum of Translation Studies programs, fostering collaborative research projects between scholars and AI developers, and addressing the need to bridge the gap between AI's IQ and EQ capabilities. Translation Studies can play a crucial role in improving AI systems' accuracy and cultural sensitivity in translation by providing valuable insights into the cultural nuances, context, and ethical considerations. By leveraging the expertise of Translation Studies, AI developers and researchers can enhance the performance of AI-based translation systems, ultimately improving the quality and impact of AI in translation. Therefore, this study supports the collaboration between Translation Studies and AI to improve the quality of translation services and promote the widespread use of culturally sensitive translations.

Çeviribiliminin Yapay Zeka (YZ) ile Geliştirilmesi: Zorluklar, İmkânlar ve Öneriler

Öz

Bu kuramsal çalışma, Çeviribilim ve Yapay Zeka (YZ) arasındaki simbiyotik ilişkiyi inceleyerek bu iki alan arasındaki iş birliğinin önemini vurgulamaktadır. Çalışma, YZ‘nin çeviri uygulamalarına entegrasyonunun çeviri verimliliğini artırma, dil engellerini aşma ve bilgiye erişimi genişletme potansiyelini araştırmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda çalışma, Çeviribilim alanındaki YZ entegrasyonunda insan uzmanlığının rolü, çevirilerin doğruluğu ve kültürel uygunluğu ve de YZ‘nin işgücü üzerindeki etkisi gibi önemli etik konuları ele almaktadır. Çalışma, Çeviribilim (veya Mütercim ve Tercümanlık) programlarının müfredatına YZ ile ilgili konuların dahil edilmesinin ehemmiyetini vurgulamakta, akademisyenler ile YZ geliştiriciler arasında iş birliğine dayalı araştırma projelerinin teşvik edilmesini savunmakta ve YZ‘nin IQ (Zeka Seviyesi/Katsayısı) ve EQ (Duygusal Zeka Seviyesi/Katsayısı) yetenekleri arasındaki boşluğu kapatma ihtiyacına dikkat çekmektedir. Çeviribilim ve Yapay Zeka (YZ) arasındaki iş birliği, teknik olarak isabetli ve kültürel olarak hassas çeviriler sunarak bireylerin ve işletmelerin ihtiyaçlarını karşılayan yüksek kaliteli çevirilerin gerçekleşmesini sağlayabilir. Söz konusu iş birliği, YZ'nin çeviri faaliyetlerindeki kalitesini ve etkisini artırarak daha güvenilir ve uygun çevirilerin ortaya çıkmasına olanak tanıyabilir. Bu nedenle, mevcut çalışma Çeviribilim ve YZ arasındaki iş birliğinin öneminin altını çizerek çeviri hizmetlerinin kalitesinin artırılması ve kültürel olarak hassas çevirilerin yaygınlaşmasının teşvik edilmesi gibi hususlara dikkat çekmektedir.
