Ethics of Generative AI in Translation

Advancing research on the ethics of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in translation, this book moves the discussion beyond abstract ethical concerns, towards empirical inquiry and evidence-based recommendations that inform future research and practice.Drawing on three empirical studies involving international samples, this book introduces an empirically grounded ethical-capacity framework that integrates tools for assessing GenAI ethical literacy, practical guidelines developed through expert consensus, and strategies for addressing implementation challenges in professional practice. Ethical capacity is a central theme throughout, emphasising the importance of equipping translators with the knowledge and skills needed to engage responsibly with GenAI, as well as with the professional and institutional support required to put ethical principles into action.An essential resource for researchers in translation technology, AI ethics, and professional ethics, the book will also be valuable to educators, professional translators, language-service providers, translator associations, and policymakers seeking to address the ethical challenges surrounding the use of GenAI in translation.
