ABOUT THE PRESE NTATION
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way multilingual virtual teams communicate, yet we know little about ho w this transformation will affect MVTs. Generative AI tools, such as Goo gle Translate for machine translation and ChatGPT for language editing, hold the potential to significantly reduce language barriers, challengin g the relevance of existing language-related theories and empirical insi ghts in international management research. On the other hand, the curren t imperfections in generative AI could introduce new misunderstandings t o communication and multilingual virtual team members’ apprehension abou t integrating generative AI in teamwork may hamper team dynamics and inc lusivity. The future impact of generative AI on multilingual virtual tea ms hinges on the development of AI technologies to overcome current impe rfections and on how multilingual virtual team members adapt to, and emb race such technologies. This webinar discusses the impact of generative AI on multilingual virtual teams as a double-edged sword and explores se veral potential scenarios for the future of communication.
