What best practices exist for AI-assisted translation in surgery?

2026-06-050 out · 23 in

Given the benefits, risks, and limitations of AI-assisted / machine translation in surgical and perioperative care (see the informing question below), what best practices does the current evidence support — when AI translation is appropriate, what safeguards it needs (professional validation, human review, adequate language coverage), and how it should sit alongside professional interpreters and pre-validated translated materials? The normative best-practice statements themselves are an expert task; the claims linked here are the empirical basis for them, not the recommendations.
