Experts are constantly trying to understand the complex relationships between humans and evolving technologies. Cognitive ergonomics, the science behind human-machine interactions, ensures optimal performance and decision-making. Understanding and managing these interactions, especially in medicine and computer tasks, requires an interdisciplinary approach. Bioethics of Cognitive Ergonomics and Digital Transition addresses these challenges head-on, offering a comprehensive exploration of cognitive ergonomics and its implications for technology, society, and more. One of the critical issues addressed in this book is the ethical design and implementation of human-machine interactions, particularly in biomedical research and treatment contexts. As technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and biotechnology continue to advance, the need for ethical frameworks becomes increasingly critical. This book examines the bioethical perspectives of these interactions, providing readers with insights into how to navigate these complex issues responsibly.

While interpreting long remained unaffected by the technological progress that transformed the translation industry, recent years have witnessed a paradigm shift, such that interpreters increasingly interact with technological tools, that the delivery of interpreting services becomes increasingly dependent on technologies, and, finally, that technologies start to emerge that might some day compete with interpreters. This volume brings together a series of contributions on interpreting technologies focusing on each of these aspects. Its goal is to inform and to empower interpreters, as well as to spark new reflections on the future of technology in the interpreting industry. With this volume, we want to encourage interpreters to participate in that reflection and to become partners of technology rather than its victims. The next generation of technologies will need a next generation of interpreters!
