Vision and Purpose

The Blank Slate Translation Initiative aims to fundamentally reshape Bible translation for the AI age. We envision a future where every community, regardless of size or location, has access to the Bible in their own language.

Our Approach

Our approach leverages emerging AI technologies to empower local communities, potentially reducing translation time and costs dramatically while increasing ownership. Key aspects include:

1. Iterative process: Continuous improvement through rapid feedback cycles
2. Decentralized tools: Simple, accessible apps for widespread participation
3. Crowdsourcing: Enabling all language speakers to contribute
4. AI integration: Synthesizing diverse inputs into coherent translations
5. Community-driven: Serving locally-initiated translation projects

Paradigm Shift

By combining AI-powered tools with local expertise, we’re not just enhancing existing methods; we’re exploring new paradigms that could maximize output from minimal input. This strategy positions us to adapt continually to advancing AI capabilities, potentially transforming community-based translation as profoundly as automobiles changed transportation.

Join the Initiative

We invite forward-thinking individuals and organizations to join us in this groundbreaking initiative. Together, we can reimagine Bible translation, ensuring no community is left without access to God’s Word in their heart language.
