Recent developments in MT, suchas neural machine translation tools and AI-powered chatbots, have improved translation speedand accuracy, shifting the translator’s role more toward that of an editor or proofreader andexpanding the scope of translator competencies. However, with the growing role of automatedsystems, professional translators have expressed concerns about the future of their profession.This paper aims to highlight the views of Polish professional translators, students of translation,translation teachers, and other language professionals on this topic. The findings presented arepart of a broader international pilot study on perceptions of the future of the translation professionin the era of artificial intelligence.
