Recalling what I highlighted in the #ITD2018 Lecture @ITD_JMT in #Johannesburg #cobalt and the hidden impact of #tech in #Africa
RT @jc_mittelstadt and @SCMPNews with thanks
Almost the exact picture I used in #ITD2018 Lecture @ITD_JMT #Johannesburg highlighting impact of #tech on language services #translation, to a lesser extent on interpreting
Especially on #indigenous, #rarer languages & #dialects
RT the ever insightful @BryanDruzin with thanks!
If you ever wanted to be a multi-trillionaire, now you know where to go.

The question I pose at @ITD_JMT #ITD2018 Lecture #Johannesburg #SATITriennial2018 and especially pertinent in #AI and #MT #IYIL2019 @UNESCO
Professional translators, interpreters & terminologists are key to giving voices to Indigenous Peoples around the world.
RT @AfriLanguages
Hela Ma-Afrika. 2019 is the International Year of #IndigenousLanguages #IYIL2019: https://t.co/2gYdr3UCa2, and our continent is not playing a meaningful role (from what we can see) despite our languages being most at risk of DYING. Why is this the case?
#AfricanLanguagesMatter
Some of the evidence I presented at @ITD_JMT #ITD2018 Lecture at #SATITriennial2018 “AI will level the playing field for Africa?”
Indigenous voices matter!

Hear hear @_KarenHao!
Behind the data is people, my message at this year’s @ITD_JMT #ITD2018 Lecture
commoditise = dehumanise
"Data is not oil. Data is people." Using this kind of language commoditizes human lives, says another panelist at @element_ai's "Governance of AI" session. #NeurIPS2018
More evidence to support what I claim at this year’s #ITD2018 Lecture at #SATITriennial2018
My thanks to @ykomska
Voice recognition will be key, yet Natural Language Processing developers are targeting moneyed populations & leave entire countries/continents behind.
Top 100 languages cover ~96% of global GDP but account for less than 60% of all populations. https://t.co/PZOuFyEV2h
Robert McColl Millar for @TheScotsman The #Scots language is the possession of Scots speakers everywhere. The cataloguing, analysis and preservation is also our responsibility.

Absolutely! As I highlighted in this year’s @ITD_JMT #ITD2018 Lecture in #Johannesburg
Looking forward to promoting the importance of #African
languages & investment in training professional translators, interpreters & terminologists working to/from/between African languages.
Many voices simply cannot be heard simply because translation from and into their languages is lacking. Hence the need to train language specialists in African languages.
Growth for whom?
If only digitalisation is the panacea...
on the paradox of #tech see my keynote at #SATITriennial2018 @ITD_JMT #ITD2018 Lecture

More evidence to support the theme of his year #ITD2018 Lecture on #tech and linguistic #colonialism
The Indian subcontinental environment is particularly subject to the #LiuPöchhacker Paradox
My thanks to @ykomska
Big tech is expanding from English into multilingualism because the English-language market has been saturated--not for any other reason. Not hard to see how for gov'ts, consumerism can serve as a pathway to linguistic minority de-radicalization. https://t.co/UzYRYNeSGm
More evidence to support my point of this year’s @ITD_JMT #ITD2018 Lecture.
#tech is the new form linguistic colonialism
#diversity matters!
#indigenousLanguages matters! @UN4Indigenous @unesco
My thanks to @sociolinguista
For those at @NZSTI_NZ #nzsti2018 and the @ITD_JMT #ITD2018 Lecture you heard my take on #BigDaga, #tech and language services, with special focus on #IndigenousLanguages as #colonialism, here is a much wider take of this concept. Courtesy of @dktatlow

And on the perils and #hype of autonomous vehicles, see @ITD_JMT Lecture #ITD2018 in #Johannesburg #SATITriennial2018
Translation today is like driving a car - you can't do it autonomously, a car is driving with you. #2018TEF
Delighted to hear more evidence supporting the main theme of #SATITriennial2018 and #ITD2018 Lecture from reputable @guardian

Eventually, it will become clear that at its core, targeted advertising enables discrimination. #sexism #genderequality https://t.co/4bfP8Ik4kx
Maybe that is why #InternationalCoffeeDay follows @ITD_JMT #InternationalTranslationDay
No exchange of ideas with translators and interpreters #ITD2018
Was the Enlightenment fueled by coffee? Not far-fetched - intellectual advance depends on intensive exchange of ideas. https://t.co/i4ClSc3uEN via @TelegraphTravel
More evidence to support one of my key messages of this years @ITD_JMT #ITD2018 Lecture in #Johannesburg #SATITriennial2018
My thanks to @Ansip_EU
Weekend read: an analysis of @medialab's #MoralMachine study was published this week.
A takeaway for me is that with all the cultural variations in ethical judgments, we will need transparency of input factors used for decisions by algorithms and #AI

Even Google is pretty sure you can’t measure bias or fairness algorithmically.
"we’d do well to remember the huge importance of literary translation as a vector for our understanding of – and empathy with – other peoples." #Literarytranslation #culturalheritage #ITD2018 Vale Anthea Bell.
Anthea Bell, 'magnificent' translator of Asterix and Kafka, dies aged 82
She opened up a world of literature to English readers, translating writers... https://t.co/hrz5ZMVcxk
