Come and watch the battle of man vs AI live on stage!

One human professional translator takes on the combined power of some of the world’s most advanced technologies. Who will be faster, better and more creative? Will technology replace the human translator right there and then, or will the human touch and approach win the day? Two contestants on stage will compete over two rounds, dealing with translation tasks involving French, German and English, and then discussing their work with each other and the audience.
