Half the wrong answer, a growing market

Another market driving growth, the artificial intelligence translation market
The market related to natural language processing (Natural Language Processing), which is the core technology driving the artificial intelligence translation market, is also exploding. It is showing a steep rise from 518 M USD (approximately 62 billion) in 2020 to 2,000 M USD (approximately 2.4 trillion) in 2025.

It's not just the natural language processing market. The machine translator market is also growing steadily every year, growing from 0.75B USD (approximately 900 billion) in 2020 to 1.5B USD (approximately 1.8 trillion) in 2025.

Will it be replaced by artificial intelligence, or will artificial intelligence be actively used?
