Transformative influence: ChatGPT in translation education at Hong Kong universities. HKAECT International Conference 2025, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong.http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11861/27889Over the past few years, technological advancements, especially artificial intelligence (AI), have significantly changed translation practices. While existing research has predominantly focused on evaluating ChatGPT’s translation quality, there has been limited exploration of its impact on translation tasks from the perspective of students in higher education. This study aims to investigate the impact of ChatGPT on translation tasks within Hong Kong universities. The research involved 105 students selected using a non-probability sampling technique. Data was collected through an online questionnaire, which yielded 78 valid responses, and through focused interviews conducted with 3 participants. The results indicated that students generally exhibit a positive attitude towards ChatGPT’s translation capabilities. Additionally, students’ perceptions of ChatGPT’ translation are closely related to factors such as frequency of use, duration, and training status. The implications for the future of translation education are discussed. The findings from this study contribute to the research on AI-assisted translation practices in higher education and provide valuable insights for future educational practices. These insights will help us understand how AI technologies like ChatGPT can support translation education and inform strategies for integrating AI into education in the future.enConference Paper
