Interpreters' conditions tank as AI replaces them; students' tests interrupted by glitches.

Employers have begun integrating AI for interpretation, and the professionals are feeling the squeeze. Lower pay, unstable hours, and a constant threat of replacement—those are the new norms. Meanwhile, students relying on AI for standardized tests face interruptions and delays. The technology promises efficiency, but the receipts say otherwise: service quality drops, jobs vanish, and the so-called savings disappear into repair budgets. The ledger is clear—AI cuts corners, and the corners cut the people. Hon, the bottom line is the bill for lost work and lost learning.
