International Executive Roundtable featuring U.S. Translation Company
|
12:00 PM - 01:30 PM
Program Overview
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the global language industry, redefining translation, interpretation, and accessibility. For higher education — especially programs in languages, business, and international affairs — the question is clear: how do we prepare students to thrive in professions that AI is already reshaping?
In this presentation, David Utrilla will share insights from 30 years as Founder and CEO of U.S. Translation Company and showcase live demonstrations of cutting-edge AI tools currently being used across the industry. Attendees will see firsthand how these technologies increase speed, quality, and reach — while also raising important questions about ethics, employment, and the role of human expertise.
Key topics include:
- How AI is disrupting traditional language professions and creating new career pathways.
- The irreplaceable role of human intelligence in culture, context, and trust — and why it matters for curriculum design.
- Real-world demonstrations of AI in translation, interpretation, and accessibility — the technologies transforming global business today.
- Opportunities for universities to prepare students with the skills that will keep them indispensable in an AI-driven marketplace.
Participants will leave with both inspiration and practical insights: not only how AI is reshaping global communication, but also how academia can lead in shaping professionals who thrive in this new era.
