As we continue to call for the responsible use and development of generative AI, we invite you to join us in solidarity with human translators and celebrate what makes human-authored translation so unique and irreplaceable by technology. We hear more about the campaign and bring you a selection of exclusive extracts from our recent translation duel event with Daniel Hahn chairing a battle between Frank Wynne and Ros Schwartz as they debate their own translations of the same text.

This podcast is brought to you thanks to the kind sponsorship of the Authors’ Licensing & Collecting Society.”
