Abstract The increasing presence of artificial intelligence (AI) in translation practices has raised important questions about its role in translation education, particularly at university level. This study investigates the effects of AI-assisted translation on Arabic–English translation products. Using a pre-test/post-test approach, students were divided into an experimental and control group. They first completed an Arabic–English translation task without AI support, followed by a guided learning session on the responsible use of AI tools for translation. Then, the control group completed a comparable translation task without AI assistance, while the experimental group benefited from the assistance of AI. Translation outputs were assessed using a common evaluation rubric focusing on accuracy, fluency, lexical precision and cultural resonance. In addition, students’ experiences and perceptions were collected through a short questionnaire. The findings suggest that AI-assisted translation can support students’ learning by improving fluency and lexical choice, while also highlighting the continued need for human intervention to ensure accuracy and contextual adequacy. The study contributes to ongoing discussions on the pedagogical integration of AI in translation education and emphasizes the importance of guided and critical use of AI as a learning tool rather than a substitute for human translation competence.
