Frequently Asked Questions
AI can automate some of the routine transcription and adaptation tasks, but it won’t replace your judgment, content sensitivity, or ability to assess risks. You’ll still add human value by verifying, contextualizing, and personalizing deliverables for your clients, while selecting appropriate sources and formats.
In an augmented expertise context, volume can be partially automated, but demand for professionals who ensure reliability, confidentiality, and customization remains high. Teams may become more versatile, with you coordinating, validating, and adapting deliverables by sector, which could maintain or even increase your market value.
To stay relevant, develop skills with AI tools for transcription and post-production, and strengthen your expertise in confidentiality and source framing. Diversify your offerings by specializing in high-value sectors (legal, medical, media) and improve your proofreading, translation, and project management skills to boost autonomy and reliability.
