Multi-Agent AI Framework Aims to Improve Cultural Adaptation in AI Translation

"In a March 5, 2025 paper, researchers from Shahjalal University of Science and Technology and the University of Oklahoma proposed a multi-agent AI framework for culturally adaptive AI translation, particularly for low-resource languages.
This multi-agent approach comes as the translation industry increasingly explores the limitless opportunities that agents can offer, along with the huge potential of agentic machine translation, where specialized AI agents collaborate across different stages of a translation workflow."

US Healthcare Firm Converts Multilingual Speech into Structured Medical Reports

"Inspired Spine, a US healthcare organization specializing in spine health and surgery, has developed SURI (Smart Universal Resource Identifier), an AI system that converts multilingual speech into structured medical reports.

The Inspired Spine researchers explained that traditional electronic health record (EHR) systems require manual input, contributing to physician burnout and increasing the risk of errors. Existing solutions, such as dictation tools and scribes, offer partial relief but remain costly and inconsistent—especially for providers who speak languages other than English or major European languages.
