WLGC: Pioneering the AI ERA: A Candid Conversation

Is AI taking over everything we once thought needed the “human in the loop”? Once you hear from our panelists and understand the new environment that we are working in, you might just change your question to something more interesting.

Join us for an enriching discussion on skills sets which we need to develop to adapt to the new way of working. What are the new age jobs looking like and what can the new generation of language professions gear up towards. AI demystified with a focus on the L10N industry, education and empowerment. Join us as we chat with strong and driven speakers who will take us to the future.
