Introduction

The 374th Contracting Squadron personnel attended a linguist introductory training course at Yokota Air Base, Japan, on June 11. The organization hosting the course specializes in the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning for language translation and localization.

Course Objectives

The course aimed to enhance translation efficiency for specific language domains, providing a new capability for 374th CONS personnel. During the training, they learned how AI can improve both professional and interpersonal communication within their squadron, and between Yokota and the surrounding communities.

Benefits of AI in Language Learning

“The idea is that this technology allows us to be more language-friendly to our Japanese industry base, which increases the potential of expanding that base,” said Jacob Love, 374th CONS supervisory contract specialist. Love noted that the contracting community often operates in regions where English isn’t the primary language. Additionally, this technology could also be implemented on a global stage to bridge language barrier gaps in other regions.

Impact on U.S.-Japan Relations

Implementing AI technology for communication helps bridge the language gap between U.S. and Japanese personnel at Yokota, strengthening the partnership and ultimately promoting a free and open Indo-Pacific.

Conclusion

The use of AI in language learning and communication is a significant step forward for the 374th Contracting Squadron. It not only enhances their operational efficiency but also fosters better relationships with local communities and international partners.
