Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:By one unique metric, we could approach technological singularity by the end of this decade, if not sooner. Over that 8-year period and analyzing over 2 billion post-edits, Translated’s AI showed a slow, but undeniable improvement as it slowly closed the gap toward human-level translation quality. If the trend continues, Translated’s AI will be as good as human-produced translation by the end of the decade (or even sooner). Whether these hyper-accurate translators are harbingers of our technological doom or not, that doesn’t lessen Translated’s AI accomplishment. An AI capable of translating speech as well as a human could very well change society, even if the true “technological singularity” remains ever elusive.
