As Bay Area Cities Adopt Real-Time AI Translation for Public Meetings - San Francisco Public Press

Northern California cities are experimenting with AI-powered software to provide real-time translation of public meetings, making local government more accessible to residents who don't speak English. The software allows users to scan a code at the entrance of a meeting, select their language, and receive a live transcription or translation of the dialogue. While some officials and community groups have concerns about accuracy and cultural competency, the technology has the potential to bridge communication gaps and make meetings more accessible. The use of AI translation services like Wordly has been found to be less expensive than human interpretation and can provide on-demand translation without the need for advance planning. However, there are still certain problems related to accuracy and usability, particularly for seniors who may struggle with smartphones. Despite these concerns, there is interest in using technology to improve accessibility in public meetings, while still prioritizing high-quality interpretation that captures cultural nuances.
