Resumo:
Value is not in the eye of the beholder, it is in people\u2019s pockets. The discussion about generation of economic value has gained a renewed interest with the increasing influence of “technology-led” business models. A look into the relationship between technology and value since the Industrial Revolution shows how technology is often used as an instrument to extract and exploit, and even destroy, the value created by human labour. This is especially true when AI is described as capable of autonomously producing value, and when work is heteromated and moving to online platforms (Mazzucato, 2018; Ekbia & Nardi, 2017; Rushkoff, 2017).
Machine translation (MT) is often hailed as one of the most successful applications of AI (Yang, 2022). Like other forms of AI, MT is just a simulation of human products by artificial means (do Carmo, 2022). As a simulation, it does not replicate the process of creation, when we know that what determines the value of knowledge products, like translation, are components of processes, like authorship, purpose, agency, creativity, and others (do Carmo, 2021). Current narratives of business models in the translation industry may result in total destruction or radical heteromation of the value of translators\u2019 work (do Carmo, 2020). In this talk, supported by previous work by many researchers, I will challenge these narratives, proposing that translation and MT are fundamental objects of study, they are factors that tap into not just language work, but our understanding of intelligence and of the fundamental current transformations of our society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esta confer\u00eancia faz parte das\u00a0sess\u00f5es#CODA – Hacktivar as Humanidades<\/strong>:
A ideia de hackear, que a cultura popular associou \u00e0 invas\u00e3o ou destrui\u00e7\u00e3o de sistemas, surgiu como uma forma n\u00e3o standard de ultrapassar obst\u00e1culos e limita\u00e7\u00f5es dos sistemas inform\u00e1ticos. Tendo como refer\u00eancia o seu car\u00e1cter original, este conceito pode ser uma poderosa ferramenta para ativar e revitalizar as humanidades. Partindo desta premissa, o ciclo “Hacktivar as Humanidades”, uma iniciativa CODA – Centre for Digital Culture and Innovation, pretende reunir investigadores nacionais e internacionais cuja investiga\u00e7\u00e3o possa demonstrar como abordagens criativas e, por vezes, disruptivas, s\u00e3o usadas para transformar a forma como pensamos e interagimos com a cultura, as artes e as ci\u00eancias humanas. Nesse questionamento, os participantes ser\u00e3o ainda desafiados a repensar as suas pr\u00f3prias pr\u00e1ticas e, portanto, a buscar novas formas de (re)hacktiva\u00e7\u00e3o dos seus pr\u00f3prios percursos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
