(Thursday 14 November, 2024, New York City, NY) – KUDO, a pioneer in language technology, is excited to partner with Slator to provide live AI translation and real-time captioning for SlatorCon Remote, the leading virtual event for language technology. Taking place on November 26, 2024, the event marks the first time SlatorCon participants—representing the most influential companies in the language and localization industry—will benefit from live AI-powered translation and captioning for a truly global exchange of ideas.
SlatorCon’s virtual conference, hosted on the RingCentral platform, seeks to gather the world’s top industry leaders, innovators, and decision-makers to explore emerging trends and transformative technologies in language services. Presentations will examine the global language industry’s high-growth sectors and transformative language technologies like Machine Translation, Large Language Models, and Natural Language Processing. Aligning with this theme, KUDO’s AI speech translation technology will make it SlatorCon’s first fully language-accessible online event, empowering participants to engage with peers, leaders, and innovators on these central topics in the language of their choice.
“At KUDO, we’re led by a mission to empower everyone to understand and be understood in their own language,” said Fardad Zabetian, CEO of KUDO. “By deploying live AI translation and captioning at SlatorCon Remote, we’re helping leaders in the language industry connect, share, and collaborate in a more impactful way. This partnership exemplifies the potential of AI to transform communication at the highest levels of language technology.”
Slator CEO Florian Faes highlighted the importance of accessibility for such a key industry event: “SlatorCon Remote brings together the foremost minds and innovators in language technology, and we’re excited to work with KUDO to make this gathering truly inclusive. The integration of real-time AI translation and captions will allow all participants to engage with content in their preferred language, enhancing the exchange of insights and fostering deeper industry collaboration. It’s a great example of how we can and should be prioritizing accessibility in global events.”
Additionally, KUDO will be hosting a panel discussion addressing a key question in the industry: “AI is Really Cannibalizing Human Interpretation?” at 12:30 – 1pm ET (6:30pm – 7pm CET). Exploring insights from two years of selling both AI and human interpretation, KUDO’s CEO and CTO will be demonstrating how AI is actually increasing demand for human interpreters rather than replacing them, while highlighting the opportunity for language service providers to capitalize on a combined AI and human approach.
