Translation is considered a main field of language and human sciences today. The Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research has paid special attention to translation since the 20th century and this attention has expanded since 2003. On the other hand, AI has revolutionized all aspects of knowledge even though, it has been existed a long time ago. This study is concerned with the status of translation education at Iraqi universities. It focuses on updating the methodology of translation education at Iraqi universities by adopting the task-based approach in accordance with AI. The study also tries to emphasis the concept of learner-centered translation education classroom rather than teacher-centered one. It concludes that AI should be used as an essential part of translation education.
