In the field of artificial intelligence(AI), terminology is commonly used to simplify and accurately convey information.

This paper, through case analysis, summarizes the lexical features of metaphorical terms in German artificial intelligence discourse and discusses translation strategies, aiming to provide reference for the translation of technical German texts into Chinese.
