Cleared Linguists Displaced by AI

SECURITY CLEARANCE Q&A
1

Hi there,

I’m curious to pick your brains on an obscure subject.

Is AI for federal purposes going to displace linguists from many roles, as the NLP algorithms for these air-gapped systems become ever more sophisticated in more languages?

There is now a Chat GPT version for federal purposes, as well as Langley’s own buildout of indigenous AI systems for foreign language work, so I’m curious whether anyone is seeing a dwindling of cleared foreign language work in the space.

There’s a decrease in private sector translation for commercial purposes due to the enormous improvements in the algorithms, but will it be the same for cleared work in, say, the IC?

There isn’t much public information due to the classified nature of such information.

This is probably a more appropriate topic to discuss elsewhere, as I believe revealing information like this may not be in the best interest to discuss publicly.
