Asking this question to us translators is useless, whatever our opinion. Shouldn’t it be addressed to computer engineers? A brief Internet research led me to this MIT paper:

The most effective way... 11:55

...is to toss "AI" language models out of the proverbial window, forget about them and let human professionals do their job.

My view 21:32

I'm not anti-AI. I use AI myself sometimes, and I can see its value as a tool and an assistant only.
What I am against is treating AI as an opportunity to reduce the amount of work available to translators and, at the same time, push their rates down.
A translator is not simply a human quality-control layer for AI.
We are qualified professionals who can analyse, research, understand and translate complex material themselves.
AI can assist the translator, just as CAT tool

A translator is not simply a human quality-control layer for AI.
We are qualified professionals who can analyse, research, understand and translate complex material themselves.
AI can assist the translator, just as CAT tools, terminology databases and other technologies do. But it shouldn't automatically mean replacing part of the human work, reducing the volume of work available, or lowering the value placed on that work.
Perhaps reducing bias in AI translation also means treating translators as human professionals with the knowledge, skills and capacity to do their job properly, and recognising their right to be treated with the same dignity and professional respect as any other skilled professional.
