Abstract

The world has entered an information age, significantly increasing societal demand for technologically empowered translation talents. High-efficiency, high-quality translation modes like machine-assisted translation, exemplified by tools such as ChatGPT, have become essential skills in contemporary translation practice. The development of AI technology has further sparked concerns among many Master of Translation and Interpreting (MTI) students regarding their future careers. While training mechanisms for MTI talents in Chinese universities are undergoing gradual reform, technological advancements continue to pose significant challenges for both translation and translation pedagogy. This article aims to analyze the current state of MTI talent cultivation models in China and explore innovations in training approaches, teaching models, and pedagogical strategies for MTI talents within the context of the digital intelligence era.
