Attentional control in simultaneous interpreting as one of major factors in the competition between artificial and human intelligences
Abstract
In the 21st year of the 21st century we can clearly see the effect of digitalization on all walks of our life, knowledge and experience. In such a way, selflearning neural networks capable of performing simultaneous interpreting become a revolutionary development potentially outcompeting a human being in the process. Nevertheless, multiple and mostly unsuccessful experiments with artificial intelligence (AI) in simultaneous interpreting have demonstrated that AI cannot replace human intelligence for the time being. What makes it possible, what retention factor is behind it? Such factors are numerous. One of them is attentional control.
