It outlines that while AI is currently assisting traditional localisation practices, it is not yet capable of fully replacing human expertise. The document details various applications of AI, such as automated transcription and machine translation, which can enhance productivity but still require skilled human editors to ensure quality. It emphasizes that for premium entertainment content, AI lacks the ability to understand context and cultural nuances, which are critical for effective localisation. The paper also highlights ethical considerations and the importance of maintaining quality in localisation processes. It concludes by noting that while AI can support skilled translators, the creative and nuanced aspects of localisation still necessitate human involvement. The document serves as a resource for understanding the current landscape and future implications of AI in media localisation.
