Technological innovation impacts and accelerates advances in different professions, and interpreting is no exception. It is no exaggeration to claim that a new paradigm is emerging in interpreting studies: the so-called augmented paradigm, which concerns (translator and) interpreter productivity via partnering with technology (Mihalache, 2021). In April 2022, I had the pleasure of remotely interviewing Dr. Claudio Fantinuoli on this timely topic, which has surprisingly attracted scant attention from the interpreting community so far. He is the head of artificial intelligence (AI) at KUDO Inc., and senior lecturer and current member of the Centre for Augmented Interpretation at the University of Mainz. He is the editor of the first book entirely focused on interpreting and technology (Fantinuoli, 2018), and author of many publications.
