ABOUT THIS SESSION
It's indisputable that AI is rapidly changing the way we communicate. Rapid advances in translation, including written text and live audio translation, seem to mean that the days of needing to speak a second language are over.
Or are they?
In this session, you'll learn:
Why learning a language is even more important today than ever, even with the huge advances in machine translation we have seen in recent years.
The transferable skills that come from learning another language and why these matter.
The future of the global economy.
Why English is not enough and why being a monolingual Anglophone may be a liability.
