Why hire a professional when AI exists?
Why hire a professional when AI exists?
AI-based technologies are on everyone’s lips – and rightly so. They have become an integral part of our lives, helping us understand texts even in languages we do not speak ourselves. That said, there are good reasons not to rely exclusively on such tools for legal translations. Here are some key points to consider:
- Context: Thanks to their powerful databases, AI-based systems can translate enormous volumes of text at remarkable speed. However, they do not always take into account the context in which individual words or phrases are used. Should it be shareholder or partner? Aktionär or Gesellschafter?
- Terminology: Legal texts often contain highly specific terminology for which there may be no direct equivalent in the target language. I research the meaning of the legal concept and find the most appropriate solution. What do AI-based systems do in such cases? Hallucinate?
- Consistency: In legal texts, it is essential that defined terms are always translated the same way without switching to synonyms. AI-based systems calculate probabilities, which means a term may be translated one way in one sentence and differently in the next. Such inconsistencies may go undetected and lead to misunderstandings.
- Liability: I hold professional indemnity insurance that covers damages arising from translation errors. But who is liable when AI-based systems are used exclusively? The provider of the tool? Your own employees? You personally?
- Confidentiality: Legal texts often contain sensitive and confidential information that must not fall into the wrong hands. I take confidentiality seriously. Among other things, I am bound by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), any non-disclosure agreements we may have in place, and the code of conduct of my professional association. AI providers themselves warn against uploading confidential or personal data to their systems.
