Lost in AI translation: growing reliance on language apps jeopardizes some asylum applications
Excerpt: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has set up several
contracts with machine translation firms, including Lionbridge
and TransPerfect Translations International Inc. Immigration
officials at Ice have been instructed to use Google Translate to
vet refugee applications. Customs and Border Protection, which is
in charge of border management, has even developed its own app,
CBP Translate, to help communicate with migrants. But the US immigration system has come to rely on these translation tools without fully grasping their limits, said ArielKoren, the founder of Respond Crisis Translation, a network of 2,500 people who provide urgent interpretation services.
“AI translation tools should never be used in a way that is unsupervised. They should never be used to replace translators and interpreters and they should not be used in high-stakes situations — not in any language and especially not for languages that are marginalized,” Koren said.
