Pro Interpreters vs. AI Challenge: Who Translates Faster and Better? | WIRED

AI has been threatening everyone's jobs, and that includes translation. Professional interpreters Barry Slaughter Olsen and Walter Krochma take on an AI speech translator named Kudo to see how its translation compares to that of a human. Barry and Walter test the AI on its ability to translate not only the words being said, but the emotions.
