Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present ways of fostering a creative mindset among translationstudents through introduction of song translation in translation training courses at the MAlevel. The translation task proposed in this study is presented as a comprehensive activity,incorporating elements of translation analysis and AI literacy. The proposal for encouragingcreativity in translation is understood here not only merely as producing creative content, butalso as a creative attitude to a given task. Creativity on behalf of the translator is particularlyimportant in the digital era when neural machine translation (NMT) produces an outcomealmost equal to human performance, and ChatGPT generates information in any language.Novice translators should be made aware that in the near future repetitive and controlledcontent will be processed by highly efficient NMT systems; however, high quality humantranslation will always be needed in the areas requiring risk awareness, confidentiality, andcreativity. Therefore, integrating AI literacy activities into translation training is essential toequip future translators with the critical thinking and adaptability necessary to thrive in thisevolving technological landscape.
