About this event

Artificial
intelligence has thrust terminology into the spotlight of technological
concerns. Machine learning engineers are discovering what
terminologists have known all along: terminology is a foundational asset
for building intelligent systems. But are we truly witnessing a
“renaissance” of this discipline, or are non-experts simply
rediscovering the value of expertise that has always been essential?

This
first panel brings together leading academics to explore how terminology
research is evolving in the age of AI. We’ll discuss the critical
importance of FAIR terminology (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and
Reusable), examine ISO standardization efforts, and question what role
terminology plays beyond AI exploitation and enterprise knowledge
management.

As
one of our speakers provocatively asks: are engineers becoming
terminologists, or should terminologists become engineers? Join us to
explore this question and discover why building shared, exchangeable
formats for terminology assets matters now more than ever.


This is the first in a three-part series exploring terminology from multiple perspectives:

  • Event 1: Terminology Research Today
  • Event 2: Terminology: Tech & Enterprise Voice
  • Event 3: Language shapes reality: a FIGS WL x-Chapter Fireside chat on Accessibility and Inclusivity

Program

45 minutes of expert discussion around three core themes:

The session will close with an interactive Q&A where you can engage directly with our expert panelists.
