Abstract

Along with technological progress, artificial intelligence has become a driving force for contemporary as well as future development. Artificial intelligence technology and humans are becoming more closely connected as it advances, and its influence on morals and ethics is also becoming more apparent. This paper examines explores the ethical dilemmas raised by machine translation technologies in the era of artificial intelligence. Initially, it presents an overview of the evolution of machine translation, with a focus on how neural machine translation has enhanced accuracy and efficiency. Subsequently, it delves into its applications across global communication, education, and other fields, alongside technological challenges such as data processing and model optimization. The core of the discussion on the ethical issues raised by machine translation, including data privacy, copyright disputes, accountability and cultural biases. In response to these challenges, the paper proposes solutions like improving data handling methods and enacting legal standards. The paper emphasizes that technological innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration are the only ways to establish a balanced approach to technological growth and ethical responsibility, and that both approaches are essential for the sound development of machine translation technology. This method has significant ramifications for the advancement of linguistic technologies in the era of globalization in addition to offering guidelines for the moral application of machine translation technologies.
