Human interpreters against AI dubbing, priced honestly — including the pairing rule that makes most estimates half of what the event actually costs.
- Difference
- ₹2,64,000
- Human interpreters

- AI dubbing
- ₹1,44,000
- Interpreters required

- Difference as a share
- 65%
Two per language for anything over an hour — simultaneous interpretation is not sustainable solo.
What this assumes
- Interpreter pairing
- Two per language — simultaneous interpretation is not sustainable solo beyond ~30 minutes
- Not modelled
- Travel, accommodation and per diem for interpreters, which favour AI further at distance
- Judgement
- Cost is not the only axis. Regulated, legal and medical content still warrants human interpreters.
