I will die on the hill of 'AI is theft' & I urge all book publishers to stop using AI for editing or proof-reading. It effectively gives AI firms your manuscript for free. Knowledge you expect readers to pay for. It also effectively removes copyright control from authors +

I see translators as co-producers of knowledge and then AI can never take that job”. Join us at Bhashavaad 3.0 at the India International Centre this weekend.

The conversations examined what might be gained and lost as AI becomes an increasingly visible part of the translation process. The larger consensus was that AI can’t be simply written off, and the ethical boundaries have to be decided. Read More: indianexpress.com/article/ci… (@IndianExpress) #AshokaUniversity
