In the digital era, artificial intelligence (AI) and digital tools have reshaped translation and interpretation education. This study examines their impact on learning outcomes and teaching methodologies at the Academy of Policy and Development (APD). Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 150 students and 20 faculty members through surveys and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative findings indicate a strong correlation (r = 0.68, p < 0.001) between AI tool usage and translation accuracy improvements (M = 3.75, SD = 0.82). Qualitative analysis highlights benefits such as accessibility and efficiency, alongside challenges like over-reliance and lack of training. Results suggest that structured AI integration enhances both student performance and instructional effectiveness. This study contributes to optimizing AI adoption in translation education, informing curriculum development and digital literacy initiatives. Future research should address long-term implications and ethical concerns in AI-assisted translation..
