Offering Innovative AI-Powered Services

Building from Lionbridge’s AI Lab 

Generative AI-enabled services are exciting and trendy, but not every content solution and language services company is truly ready to offer them to customers. Providing trustworthy, innovative AI-powered solutions to customers requires deeply restructuring the company’s DNA. Without the right approach, an AI content generator or AI translation services can introduce serious risks, including:

  • Inaccurate translations
  • Poor-quality content
  • Compromise of sensitive company data
  • Offensive AI content generation

Learn how Lionbridge used its AI Lab program to present a comprehensive suite of AI services for its customers. 

Training to Provide AI-Powered Services

Created by Lionbridge’s GenAI adoption team, who have strong backgrounds in change management, the lab trains Lionbridge employees to use AI tools in secure, effective ways. The team began developing the AI Lab in early September 2023. The lab contains a series of interactive web pages full of AI training content. (Notably, this content was actually developed using GPT.) Besides training modules, the lab includes interactive content, such as:

  • Exercises
  • Forms
  • Videos
  • Webinars
  • Trainings
  • Curated content
  • How-to guides

Perhaps most importantly, the AI Lab has a section devoted to AI safety.

Three levels of training have been offered to ensure the Lionbridge team is skilled and confident using AI. Employees have been thoroughly prepared to serve customers with AI-powered solutions. They can take all levels of training, or choose from each as needed.

Level 101: Delivers training on basic prompting and how to use each AI tool, such as Bard, GPT, etc. 

Level 201: This training covers advanced prompting. It also delves into AI applications for specific roles within the company. The training helps employees make their jobs easier and start applying AI tech customer-facing activities.

Level 301: Provides advanced training on how to use Microsoft Copilot and Power Suite (Power Automate, Power App, and Power BI) to develop more comprehensive solutions while also leveraging AI.

Lionbridge’s AI Lab itself is proof of Lionbridge’s deft usage of AI. Our team harnessed the power of AI to build all its content and images. We also used AI to make our work more efficient. The team was able to construct the AI Lab in just seven workdays. 

The AI Lab’s Impact on Lionbridge

The AI Lab has deeply impacted Lionbridge. When AI tools were first introduced in 2023, some Lionbridge employees required training. After participating in the AI Lab, most employees now embrace AI usage daily. Lionbridge’s AI sandbox, a secure AI environment for employees to experiment, has over 1,000 users daily. Around 4,200 people completed the trainings, or about 70% of employees.

A second critical impact is how AI has become a part of the company’s DNA. Lionbridge employees aren’t just experimenting with the technology occasionally. Employees are now expected to use AI to assist with their jobs regularly. Everyone has been required to set at least one yearly goal regarding AI usage in their job. With AI as a cornerstone of daily activities, the company has built a deep familiarity with the technology. We also stay abreast of its changes and upgrades — no unpleasant surprises here. Everyone at Lionbridge has been trained to become an AI enthusiast, if not an expert.
