Welcome to Episode 115 In this episode of the Localization Fireside Chat, I sit down with Peter Medahian and Kim Pines from CLIA, the Canadian Language Industry Association. We talk about AI readiness, trust, and Reclaim 3.0, a live 10-week upskilling course for language companies created with Magic Beans.
