A clear-headed analysis of the new Labour budget from Trade Association Forum CEO Emily Wallace and TAF partner and political and media monitoring specialists Vuelio: "Business will bear the brunt of the revenue raising measures, with minimum wage rises, increases in employers national insurance contributions sitting alongside the new employment protections already announced. Whilst the lowest paid and ‘payslips’ have been protected, the impact of this Budget will be felt for many years to come as businesses look at how to mitigate these additional costs, through higher prices, slower wage growth or different hiring policies." https://lnkd.in/d8n8ZSde

A timely wake-up call on the widespread use of MT within public services: at least 33% of 2,520 UK public service professionals surveyed had used machine translation in their work, with very few policies in place around its use, liability issues, or training. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eQb6_pew Chartered Institute of Linguists University of Bristol Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)
CIOL has partnered with the University of Bristol on the just-published groundbreaking research project 'Uses of AI Translation in UK Public Service Contexts': https://lnkd.in/eQb6_pew Authored by Dr Lucas Nunes Vieira of the University of Bristol, this examines a previously unstudied aspect of our public services: the use of machine translation tools by frontline workers. The data, from over 2,500 UK professionals, shows that a third of respondents have used machine translation in their work, often in public-facing situations where miscommunication could have serious consequences. It is clear that the current situation of unacknowledged and unmanaged use of AI for translation in public services cannot continue. We will be discussing the findings and implications of this research with Lucas and the two key reviewers of the research, Professor Lynne Bowker and Dr Mary Nurminen, in our online Roundtable this Thursday afternoon, 17 October, at 2pm (UK time) and there is still time to register for this free event: https://lnkd.in/dW5S9Yuc
