| dc.description.abstract | The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) tools has had a profound impact on education, particularly within higher education. The recent appearance of DeepSeek has caused a stir among North American universities, with the faculty expressing concerns about its indiscriminate use in various fields of study. Media outlets characterised this situation as awake up call (BBC, 2025; Forbes, 2025). While AI presents both challenges and opportunities for faculty and students alike, its application requires a critical approach that ensures ethical considerations are upheld and academic integrity preserved. These tools have had a significant impact in the world of translation (Pym & Hao, 2024), changing market expectations and leading to a growing reliance on post-editing tasks for translators. Given these developments, it is imperative to address the AI’s role in translator training to bridge the gap between academic instruction and industry requirements. Therefore, this paper aims to evaluate this impact through the assessment of students’ perceptions. Specifically, it explores how students integrate AI into their learning processes and translation practice, assessing whether they engage with these tools critically or rely on them as substitutes for their own cognitive efforts. The research is based on a survey conducted among master's students in Translation in northern Portugal. The findings provide insights into the role of AI in this academic context, contributing to the broader discourse on AI's implications for translator training and professional practice. | eng |
