En los 20 años de la Revista Tradumàtica, hemos visto cómo la traducción automática ha pasado a formar parte de la vida cotidiana de sus usuarios habituales. Partiendo de 17 respuestas, este artículo reflexiona sobre el uso de la TA entre los no profesionales de la traducción. Tras opinar sobre el uso de la TA como diccionario, para leer noticias, para acceder a la información o para producir textos en situaciones que los usuarios perciben como de bajo o alto riesgo, el artículo ahonda en la concienciación de los usuarios con respecto a la precisión de la TA y la necesidad de comprometerse con el resultado para mejorar la calidad de las traducciones. Además, los resultados también indican que el uso de la TA no solo afecta a la producción en la lengua meta, sino que también influye en la redacción de los originales que se pretende traducir. A partir de las respuestas, el artículo analiza el impacto de la TA en el marco de la accesibilidad y la democratización, revisando cómo la TA y la IA tienen el potencial de apoyar el cambio social pero también de profundizar la desigualdad, reproducir sesgos y reducir la operatividad de los agentes humanos. Por último, el artículo hace un llamamiento a una aplicación crítica y consciente de la TA para apoyar la interacción persona-ordenador como herramienta para el desarrollo de la sociedad.

Palabras clave
