Reconfiguring the translator’s competences in the age of artificial intelligence: between complementarity and substitution [Articol]
(Universitatea de Stat din Moldova, 2026) Braescu, Andrei
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has fundamentally altered the landscape of professional translation. This article examines how translator competences are being redefined in an era where AI-powered tools are both collaborators and competitors. Focusing on both technical and literary translation, we integrate recent research to analyze the complementarity versus substitution dilemma. AI translation platforms such as DeepL, Google Translate, and large language models, such as ChatGPT, offer unprecedented speed and terminological accuracy, prompting a shift in translator workflows toward machine translation post-editing and technology integration. However, these same technologies raise questions about the future role of human translators, especially in tasks requiring creativity, cultural nuance, and ethical judgment. The article discusses practical implications for translator training, including updated competence frameworks emphasizing AI literacy and post-editing skills, ethical considerations, i.e., data privacy, authorship, and quality assurance, workflow transformations, and employment prospects. It is argueable that a hybrid model is emerging in which AI handles routine, repetitive tasks while human translators focus on interpretive, creative, and quality-critical aspects. Rather than a simple replacement of humans by machines, the translator’s role is being reconfigured –requiring a balance between leveraging AI’s strengths and preserving the uniquely human dimensions of translation.
Economic implications and strategic development perspectives of distance learning in the Republic of Moldova [Articol]
(Universitatea de Stat din Moldova, 2026) Gavrilaș, Natalia; Marczak, Łukasz; Osoianu, Alexandrina
Purpose of the article: This article examines distance learning, emphasizing how this form of education supports the efficient use of institutional resources, broadens access to higher education, and contributes to the preparation of human capital for the contemporary economy. Methodology:The research is based on an analysis of the specialized literature and a comparison of international practices regarding the digitalization of higher education. At the same time, it examines the challenges and opportunities generated by this process, with particular reference to the realities of the Republic of Moldova. Conclusions: The findings indicate that distance learning generates economic benefits by reducing costs and increasing organizational flexibility, while also offering long-term advantages by strengthening digital skills, enhancing academic mobility, and improving labor market competitiveness. Nevertheless, sustainable implementation requires consistent investments in infrastructure, the development of digital resources, and teacher training. Originality: The study provides a perspective tailored to the context of the Republic of Moldova, where digital university education is still in an early stage, and argues that its adoption may serve as a strategic driver for educational modernization and national economic development.
Sustainability reporting standards as a tool for strengthening corporate responsibility [Articol]
(Universitatea de Stat din Moldova, 2026) Zaharco, Silvia; Petreanu, Elena
Purpose of the article: The article investigates the role of sustainability reporting standards as a tool for strengthening corporate responsibility. It aims to highlight how these standards enhance transparency, accountability, and the communication of economic, social, and environmental impacts of organizations. The study focuses on the most recognized international standards, such as GRI, and examines their relevance in improving stakeholder’s confidence and overall organizational efficiency. Methodology: The research is based on a documentary analysis of existing sustainability reporting standards, comparative evaluation of their applicability, and review of recent literature and studies on sustainability reporting practices. The methodology includes identifying key criteria, evaluating differences and complementarities among standards, and assessing trends in adoption across various regions. Conclusions: Adopting internationally recognized sustainability reporting standards enables organizations to present their environmental and social impact transparently and coherently. This improves comparability and accessibility of data for stakeholders, supports strategic decision-making, and enhances organizational performance. While challenges exist, such as data collection and adapting to evolving regulations, sustainability reporting remains a fundamental tool to promote responsible corporate behavior. Originality: The article offers a comprehensive view of the opportunities, challenges, and strategic benefits of sustainability reporting standards, emphasizing their evolving role from voluntary initiatives to standardized practices. It contributes to the literature by systematically analyzing the differences and complementarities among standards and their practical implications for corporate responsibility.

The impact of ai on translating culture-specific items [Articol]
(Universitatea de Stat din Moldova, 2026) Cupcic, Silviana
The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into translation practice has radically transformed the production and evaluation of translated texts. Although AI tools frequently generate fluent and grammatically acceptable translations, their ability to translate culturespecific items (CSIs) remains problematic due to cultural incongruity and conceptual nonequivalence between languages. This study investigates the impact of AI on translating Romanian CSIs from tourism texts into English. The aim is to identify the main types of Romanian CSIs occurring in authentic tourism texts and to analyse the accuracy of translation variants provided by the AI tool - Perplexity and machine translation tool - Google Translate when rendering these CSIs into English. Our main hypothesis is that AI provides acceptable translation equivalents in most cases, yet it fails when CSIs should be translated. The comparative analysis of Perplexity AI and Google Translate versions highlights a considerable difference as to the accuracy and quality of translation. The study confirms the continuing necessity of human post-editing in culture-sensitive translation tasks, in particular when applying Google Translate, whereas Perplexity proved to be more efficient and reliable.
