Original Conclusion Revised Conclusion

1. This is no doubt an exciting proposition to

see machine replace human intelligence,
but to replace human competence in
bilingual skills, even with the advent of
………
neural networks and deep learning, appears
quite far. At best, with the use of neural
machine networks, which are evolving by
the day, translation work is likely to
get distributed between machines and
humans, based on task-specifics.

2. Thus, if asked what we think is the essence

of digital transformation, we would answer
………
that it is the corporate culture and the
transformation of employee mindset.

Answers :

1. Revised Conclusion: While the prospect of machines replacing human intelligence is

intriguing, it seems unlikely that they will fully replace human competence in bilingual skills,
even with advancements in neural networks and deep learning. Instead, it is more probable
that translation work will be distributed between machines and humans, depending on the
specific tasks and requirements. As neural machine networks continue to evolve, the
collaboration between humans and machines in translation is expected to become more
prevalent.
2. Revised Conclusion: In summary, when considering the essence of digital transformation, we believe
that it lies in the transformation of corporate culture and the mindset of employees. These aspects play
a crucial role in successfully navigating the digital landscape and adapting to new technologies. By
fostering a culture of innovation and embracing a digital mindset, organizations can effectively embrace
digital transformation and thrive in the digital age.
