Ensuring the Integrity of Communication — CoSET and SAFE AI Task Force Release First Comprehensive Framework for AI Interpreting
The Coalition for Sign Language Equity in Technology (CoSET) is pleased to announce our role in developing the first comprehensive evaluation framework for automated interpreting by artificial intelligence (AIxAI) in conjunction with the Interpreting SAFE AI Task Force (SAFE AI TF).
The AI Interpreting Solutions Toolkit—Ensuring the Integrity of Communication Part A: Organization, Implementation and Management was published by the SAFE AI TF on Wednesday, August 27, 2025 (download here). The two most significant contributions from CoSET are the integration of sign language interpreting with spoken language interpreting throughout the entire document; and, the refinement of a risk assessment framework premised on a three-dimensional model of attention areas:
- the quality of the translation algorithms, specifically including language pair accuracy,
- individual characteristics of the primary/principal communicators, and
- the context or scenario of use.
Members of CoSET worked with members of the SAFE AI Task Force for the past two months, building on foundational work produced by TF members beginning last winter.
The official press release is distributed by the Interpreting SAFE AI Task Force: https://www.newswire.com/news/safe-ai-task-force-and-coset-release-ai-interpreting-solutions-22630867
Two additional parts of the Toolkit will be published this fall: Part B on technological specifications and Part C on legal considerations.
