Pedagogical Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Teaching Translation

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the educational landscape, and translation studies are no exception. This article explores how AI tools can enrich the teaching of translation by helping educators create more dynamic and relevant tasks, particularly in legal and economic contexts. Based on classroom experience at MGIMO University, where students are trained as future lawyers and economists, this paper highlights how tools like ChatGPT and DeepL can support deeper student engagement and more effective learning outcomes. The use of AI fosters learner autonomy, provides instant feedback, and allows for the creation of authentic tasks that simulate real-world translation challenges. However, the benefits of these tools must be weighed against ethical concerns such as academic integrity, data privacy, and overreliance on automated outputs.
