Abstract :

This document provides an overview of the opportunities and challenges of using AI-powered interpretation in ITU meetings, as requested by the Council Working Group on the use of the six languages of the Union (CWG-LANG) in its 14th meeting in January 2024. It was originally submitted as information document CWG-LANG-16/INF/1 to the 16th CWG-LANG meeting, which requested its submission to Council-25.
It follows discussions on exploring all options for the provision of interpretation as per Resolution 154 (Rev. Bucharest, 2022) and increasing the availability of interpretation services in ITU meetings to enhance the participation of all Member States within existing budgetary limitations in line with ITU's commitment to multilingualism.
