THE ART OF TRANSLATION AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

The cognitive process and one of its most difficult aspects – translation into different languages - is an obstacle to creating a perfect Artificial Intelligence, because translation is not limited to formulas. The accuracy of the terminology and the lack of ambiguity of the word are the purposes of artificial intelligence while limiting the development of linguistic thinking. The transhumanism involves the improvement of the man, as an unfinished link of evolution, based on his connection with technological elements. From the author`s point of view, the “man-machine” interaction offers a dubious advantage for the human civilization and the planetary ecological system. This is, first of all, anachronistic and its main goal is singularity, i.e., the management of intellectual energy within the strict framework of technology. The article schematically provides the explicit sequence of the translation process. Based on relevant examples, the author demonstrates the difference between mental operations of Artificial Intelligence and those of the man in the translation process. According to the author, translation is a universal feature of human thought, while the process of translating the thought into the speech form is due to biological-genetic, emotional, socio-historical memory and experience, as well as the possibility of the individual translation of the thought into the mother tongue and into any other language.
