AI Translation Sparks EU Jobs Debate

AI-powered translation tools are accelerating the industry in the European Union, with publishers like Harlequin France testing AI-assisted services from Fluent Planet, sparking backlash from translators but promoting faster, cheaper translations. Experts say AI will likely change language work rather than replace it, with high-stakes tasks still requiring human input, and while the profession faces job-quality shifts and tighter competition for entry-level roles, EU data show overall translation employment continuing to grow. The trend signals a significant shift in the field rather than a collapse.

Even Realities G2: Subtle, Lightweight AR Glasses Push Boundaries at CES 2026

At CES 2026, the Even Realities G2 smart glasses emerge as a refined upgrade over the G1, with 75% larger displays powered by Even HAO 2.0 optics for a brighter, steadier HUD inside near-normal prescription frames. They weigh about 36g, use a titanium-magnesium frame with a stronger stem, and offer a customizable Dashboard controlled by back-of-stem gestures or the new R1 ring. Key perks include real-time translation and improved note-taking gestures, while the Conversate feature showed issues on the showroom floor. Navigation uses a built-in geomagnetic sensor (not yet compatible with Google Maps) and health data is currently limited to the R1 ring. Priced at $599 with optional sunglasses clips and prescription options, the G2 positions itself as the most subtle—and capable—smart glasses available today.
