Training on AI Tools

If you’re working in the language industry you will probably know that our tools are changing faster than you can say Terminology Extraction. And ever since genAI has burst into our everyday lives like a conference speaker with something to say, one thing has become clear: without training, you won’t survive as a freelancer!

 Generative AI is not competition for language professionals. Much rather, it’s a superpower booster! It will help you structure background information in seconds, provides creative style variations for blog or social media posts, helps with quick topic research, and can prepare complex content in such a way that we will remain cool during even the biggest interpreting assignments.

But all of this is only possible, if you know how to use AI models such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Notebook LM and the like safely, efficiently, and responsibly – and understand where their limits lie!

On November 22, I attended a BDÜ seminar, gaining a comprehensive overview of the AI landscape beyond ChatGPT and learned how modern AI actually works, where it can provide support, and when its use can become a risk. In this one-day training course, I learned how to use different AI models strategically to make my work more efficient, faster, and less stressful, and I am now better able to argue when and why our professional expertise remains indispensable despite AI (or precisely because of it). Because let’s be honest: AI can make suggestions. But it cannot decide what is right. That is and remains a superpower of a trained language professional.

Not only do I benefit from targeted AI training, but my clients can also trust that I will give them competent, informed, and fair advice.
