"Sun, Liu, and Moratto offer a timely collection of essays exploring the impact of artificial intelligence, especially large language models (LLMs), on translation studies and practice. The volume is ambitious and comprehensive, with well-known authors exploring the impact of AI on translation studies itself, discussing how the latest developments influence translation expertise and pedagogy, and, importantly, addressing the ethical implications of this unique intersection of man and machine. If translation scholars are ever to understand the opportunities and challenges artificial intelligence presents and poses, this volume is an important step forward."
