CEO of AI Dubber Papercup Says Much of the Team is Moving to Scale AI
"AI dubbing company Papercup co-founder and CEO, Jesse Shemen, announced via a post on LinkedIn dated May 15, 2025, that “a large portion of the Papercup team is joining Scale AI, a company I’ve long admired for shaping the future of AI across both public and enterprise sectors.”
While both Shemen and AI data annotation giant Scale AI are seemingly keeping details of their merger under wraps, Shemen also said in his post that “It is a bittersweet moment. While it’s difficult to see Papercup take a different path than I had imagined, I’m deeply proud of what we accomplished.” He is joining Scale himself, but it is not known what his role will be.

Will YouTube Succeed with AI Translated Dubbing?
"If anyone had heard in the 2010s the prediction that YouTube VP, Amjad Hanif, is quoted as saying in a Bloomberg article about AI dubbing, skepticism would have likely reigned on social media: in five years, “every video uploaded to YouTube could be dubbed automatically into every spoken language.”
In 2025, this is more plausible, so no great skepticism, no millions of exploding-head emojis. Well, perhaps not every spoken language. But at the dizzying rate language AI is advancing (just look at what HeyGen’s Avatar or ElevenLabs’ Actor Mode can do), AI dubbing is set to improve and dominate over human dubbing a lot sooner than 2030.

US Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Job Outlook for Translators and Interpreters Worsens
"Market performance and unemployment rates are standard indicators of the mood of the economy. For the language industry, rates and employment levels are two additional important factors.
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in an April 2025 update to its Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH), reported some mixed news for translators and interpreters (T&Is) — specifically those who are employees.
The BLS estimated about 78,300 jobs in 2023, with nearly one-third (32%) of those being self-employed. (Data on their earnings was not included in the OOH.)

Denmark Says Post-Editing Is Not Translation
"A passage taken from a statement (in Danish) published in April 2025 by the Danish Translators’ Association and the Danish Authors’ Society says that “some people have wrongly received public lending money for books where they were listed as translators. In these instances, no real translation work was done; instead, they only edited text that was already translated by a machine.”
According to the European Council of Literary Translators Associations (CEATL), the two associations, along with the Danish Publishers Association, have reached an industry-wide agreement regarding crediting practices for translators and AI translation post-editors.
