Interpreters: AI for Preparation and Terminology
Prepare faster for assignments with AI glossaries and briefings, while keeping confidentiality intact
A taste of a lesson
Can I paste the confidential briefing pack for tomorrow's board meeting into AI to make a glossary?
Check your contract first, but usually the answer is no: confidential briefing material shouldn't go into third party tools without explicit permission. Instead, build your glossary from public sources like the company's annual report, website and press releases, then add terms from the briefing pack manually. If the client has an approved tool or gives written permission, that changes things. What public documents does the company publish that could cover most of the terminology?
Written by the teacher as an example. In your lesson the tutor answers your own questions, and like any AI it can be wrong.
What you will be able to do
- Build and verify bilingual glossaries from public documents
- Turn background material into concise briefing notes
- Generate practice speeches for warm up and terminology rehearsal
- Explain the limits of automatic speech translation in high stakes settings

About this tutor
For conference, community, court and medical interpreters, and interpreting students. We focus on preparation, where AI can help most: building bilingual glossaries from public documents, summarising background material, anticipating terminology and speakers' topics, and practising with generated speeches. We look carefully at the limits: terminology errors, invented equivalents, confidential briefing material, recording and consent, and why automatic speech translation is not a substitute for a qualified interpreter in high stakes settings. Your professional code and client terms come first.
