ABSTRACT

Juriae Lee, Juyeon Lee, Junho Lee, Jiun Huh (2025). Interpreters’ use and perceptions of generative AI: A survey of Korean professional interpreters. Despite rapid advances in AI, research on its use in interpreting is limited; little is known about interpreters’ perceptions. According to a survey conducted by KATI among interpreters in Korea, generative AI has yet to significantly impact the interpreting market, but interpreters are showing interest in it and using it in various ways during preparation. Interpreters who actively utilize AI and prepare for future changes tend to have a more positive outlook on the AI era. At the same time, concerns were expressed about the ethical implications of using AI in interpreting and its potential impact on the profession. This study concludes that enhanced training and institutional support are needed to help interpreters strengthen their professional competencies and adapt to ongoing transformations in the AI era.
