Human vs Machine: AI translation slam

Be there when AI and human creativity collide in a translation duel!

The experienced translators Rebecca DeWald, Vineet Lal and Annie Rutherford compete with machine translation systems, expertly operated by Daniela Ford. The audience follows the translation processes live and decides after each round: Who translated better – human or machine?

Organized in collaboration with the Goethe Institut Glasgow, this event presents translations from German and French into English. Hosted by Christophe Fricker from the University of Bristol, this evening promises to be a fascinating exploration of literary translation. The event takes place in English and can also be attended without knowledge of German or French.

Join us as we find out whether AI can keep up with the creativity of human translators and look forward to an exciting showdown!
