Working Between Imperfect Words: Deaf Interpreters’  Use of AI Captioning

efsli

This presentation brings lived experience and current research to examine when and how AI captioning is usable for deaf interpreters.

In the second session of efsliDI's new webinar series, SignAir, we welcome Razaq Fakir, who will introduce current research and lived perspectives on how deaf interpreters engage with AI captioning tools, and what shapes their diverging experiences.As AI-generated captions become increasingly embedded in education, workplaces, and public events, deaf interpreters face a complex landscape of both opportunity and limitation. While many express low trust in AI captions due to accuracy, lag, and loss of nuance, others find that real-time captions can provide valuable access to spoken-language information and support greater independence in hearing-majority settings.This webinar will be conducted in International Sign. There will be no spoken interpretation provided.
