AI First Puts Humans First – O’Reilly

Every company is facing this choice today. Those that use AI simply to reduce costs and replace workers will be outcompeted by those that use it to expand their capabilities. So, for example, at O’Reilly, we have primarily offered our content in English, with only the most popular titles translated into the most commercially viable languages. But now, with the aid of AI, we can translate everything into—well, not every language (yet)—dozens of languages, making our knowledge and our products accessible and affordable in parts of the world that we just couldn’t serve before. These AI-only translations are not as good as those that are edited and curated by humans, but an AI-generated translation is better than no translation. Our customers who don’t speak English are delighted to have access to technical learning in their own language.
