ABSTRACT

Jiun Huh (2025). Exploring the potential of using AI programming assistants for supporting interpreters’ professional needs and expanding their roles: Developing application prototypes for terminology extraction and machine interpreting. This study focuses on developing interpreting application prototypes using an AI programming assistant, exploring how such technologies can support interpreters’ professional needs and potentially expand their roles. It adopts the vibe coding paradigm, which involves generating code through natural language prompts. Using Cursor, an AI code editor, the study developed three prototypes: (1) a terminology extraction web application, and (2) two machine interpreting web applications. The findings demonstrate how AI programming assistants can be leveraged to create custom solutions that support interpreting workflows while also helping interpreters build technological literacy. The study also discusses the strengths and limitations of current machine interpreting technologies and the potential professional opportunities they present for interpreters. Finally, it highlights the fundamental nature of communication ― encompassing both linguistic and non-linguistic features ― and emphasizes the importance of human-technology coexistence through collaborative partnerships.
