Why might the motion to implement AI interpretation be necessary despite existing apps?

Implementing AI interpretation to standardize official interpretation practice ensures that there is a consistent and uniform approach across various settings. While there are existing apps that provide interpretation services, they may vary significantly in quality, accuracy, and user experience. Standardizing practices through an official AI interpretation system allows for a uniform standard that can be adhered to in critical contexts, ensuring that all participants receive the same level of service and reliability in communication.

This standardization is especially important in formal settings where misunderstandings could have serious implications, thus fostering greater trust and clarity in interactions. It also provides a framework that could potentially enhance collaboration and integration of technology in interpreting, leading to a more cohesive understanding of communication across different languages and cultures.

The other reasons, such as concerns about cost or the presence of human interpreters, while important, do not fully address the necessity of having a consistent standard in interpretation practices that an official AI interpretation policy would provide.
