I think the near future of translation is quite obvious and pretty much the same as the current situation: humans will be doing mostly MTPE/AIPE, although conventional translation will continue to exist to some extent.

This will continue until AI is able to copy human intelligence 100%, if it ever does that. It might, but not because the tech bros are shouting to the whole world it will.

How many times, and in how many paraphrased versions, are we going to have to answer this question?

I know that I've given my answer at least five times. Anyone who's interested can look it up.
