Introduction to GenAI in Localization
Accelerated learning workshop ahead of TAUS Annual Conference
04 October 2023, 13:00 to 18:00
Little America Hotel, Salt Lake City (USA)
About the Workshop
This workshop provides an intensive introduction to generative AI for localization executives. Learn how to implement ChatGPT and its counterparts, and take the first step to transform your localization team into a center of excellence in language models.
- You will learn
Gen AI Landscape:
gain insights into the emerging landscape of language models, including OpenAI, HuggingFace, Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, Cohere, Steamship, and others.
Use Cases and Applications:
explore scenarios where language models come into play in localization and other departments.
Governance and Risk Management:
equip yourself with methods to evaluate and score risk, avoid data leaks, and mitigate output inaccuracies.
Live Projects:
Experts will review 4-7 case studies from localization teams inside global brands implementing OpenAI technology. Follow the peer analysis of the organizational impact and pitfalls and consider bringing your own use case to benefit from a multi-perspective analysis.
The session requires no prior technical knowledge of generative AI, only an overall understanding of localization. The program is tailored to non-developer executives who are building up their understanding and resources in language AI.
