The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the theoretical foundations of translation and interpreting studies, the workflows of the language industry and the training of future language professionals. From machine translation and speech technologies to adaptive learning systems and multimodal communication tools, AI is being integrated into professional and educational practices at an accelerating rate. Due to this rapid development, the following key question emerges: How can we ensure that new AI-based technologies remain human-centered and grounded in legal and ethical principles, while also aligning with the needs and values of the people these technologies are meant to serve? The Department of Translation Studies at the University of Innsbruck is hosting an international conference from September 23 to 26, 2026, dedicated to this central question.
