    TECHNOLOGY AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN SIMULTANEOUS INTERPRETING: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH
    (CDELT,Ain Shams University, 2022-04) Ahmed, Safa'a A
    The insertion of technology in simultaneous interpreting has recently raised much controversy among, inter alia, practitioners, researchers and end-service users. Precipitous developments especially in Artificial Intelligence can affect not only the façade but also the core of the profession. The world's feverish propaganda for the inevitability of technological change together with the epidemic panic from machine IQ to reach 10,000 (while Einstein's was 150) have given impetus for this research to investigate the past and present of using technology in simultaneous interpreting and explore the challenges and opportunities for collaboration between the human and the machine from a multidisciplinary perspective. It is a qualitative study which uses description, comparison, and interpretation as research methods to analyse how the human and the machine react to the process of simultaneous interpreting and assess their performance and role. It concludes that there is not much prospect that machines can replace the human interpreter at least in the near future, and that technological developments should be directed to serve the field and human interpreters in a constructive way.

    The Politics of Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Higher Education: Benefits < > Risks
    (CDELT, 2024-10-01) Safa'a A. Ahmed
    The intersection of education, politics and technology is increasingly becoming urgent in analysing the development of educational systems. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping our lives, it is changing the façades of many fields, including higher education. Despite the global appellative propaganda for AI and the quite charming, fascinating, and tempting discourse on the necessity of change, development and updating education to meet a rapidly changing job market, inter alia, the uncontrolled use of AI can represent real threats to educational systems. This paper investigates some of the benefits and risks of integrating AI into higher education and their prospective implications for students' skills and their employability, teachers and the industry. It is not my intention, by any means, to reject or attack AI technology in itself, but it is an attempt to carefully and rationally think, analyse, compare and evaluate that integration. Since politics and technology are vital for education, the study employs a multi-disciplinary theoretical perspective. It is a qualitative study based on observation, analysis, comparison and interpretation. The study unveils serious risks of the global unjustifiable pressure to integrate AI into higher education for their implications for students, teachers and the industry. Benefits are found to be disproportional to the risks and the whole issue should be reconsidered before integration.
