Exposure basis
[v4/median] score 25 (raw 25 | A 42 / B 5 / C 25 | modality: other) AI can perform real‑time speech translation with decent accuracy using widely deployed tools, but it still falls short of professional interpreters in nuance, cultural context, and sign‑language handling. (capable: Speech‑to‑speech translation models (e.g., Google Translate, Microsoft Translator, DeepL))

How much of this task's output current AI can produce or substantially assist.
Best current model strength on any capability this task requires.
This is an assessment of technical feasibility plus published evidence - not a forecast. Even fully automatable tasks are often not automated, because of cost, verification, liability, regulation or the fact that the task is bundled with other work.
