The Christian evangelist and motivational speaker Nick Vujicic unveils an AI-powered method for global evangelization following the concern about the introduction of new technology.
During a sit-down interview with The Christian Post, the 40-year-old Best selling author revealed his recent initiative multitood which aims to broaden the influence of the Kingdom through the development of digital content.
Multitood seeks to ward off the language barrier encountered by global churches and content creators. The voice dubbing and translation software translates videos into more than 36 languages. It adds and modifies subtitles, produces voiceovers that sound realistic and streams them on the Internet.
Vujicic disclosed that he was inspired to create the unique video translation system that seamlessly combines Al technology with human skills, when he realized that 65% of his 16 million social media followers are non-native English speakers.
“When we have the Great Commission to preach the Gospel to all nations and make disciples, it’s more than just translating the Bible in [a variety of] languages. It’s also equipping, encouraging, and building the churches out there to be the hands and feet with digital content as well that they understand in their own language,” Vujicic said.
“AI is getting better and better and better. And there are good things and bad things about AI. But we’re so thankful we can use it for the Kingdom,” he added.
He noted also that Multitood has received excellent comments from churches that use it because it offers an affordable method for translating sermons and podcasts into numerous languages, and also aids in spreading the gospel to diverse communities across the globe.
Vujicic further announced his plans to produce six documentaries over the following three years through his production company.
“I felt the Holy Spirit say, ‘Make documentaries to wake up and equip and encourage the believers,” he said. “And I really believe that the Church needs some encouragement”.
