Abstract

In recent years, neural network machine translation has vastly enhanced translation efficiency and ushered in the era of artificial intelligence for machine translation. In the era of artificial intelligence, technological progress has forced us to reconsider the link between machine translation and human translation. Through a literature analysis, the paper investigates the history and current situation of the development of AI translation, the technical anxiety that AI brings to human translation, and the equilibrium between machine translation and human translation.

Keywords

Machine translation, human translation, artificial intelligence.
