Assistant Lecturer Nawroz Muhammad, also from Cihan University-Sulaimaniya , presented “Technology and AI in Journalistic Translation.” Her session explored the transformative impact of technology and artificial intelligence on translation practices in both international and Kurdish media. She highlighted how these tools offer efficiency while raising questions about cultural sensitivity and precision.
