Kenny, Dorothy (2011) The ethics of machine translation. In: New Zealand Society of Translators and Interpreters Annual Conference 2011, 4-5 June 2011, Auckland, New Zealand. ISBN 978-0-473-21372-5
Abstract
In this paper I first describe the two main branches in machine translation research. I then go to discuss why the second of these, statistical machine translation, can cause some malaise among translation scholars. As some of the issues that arise are ethical in nature, I stop to ponder what an ethics of machine translation might involve, before considering the ethical stance adopted by some of the main protagonists in the development and popularisation of statistical machine translation, and in the teaching of translation.
