| “On Palm Sunday, Jesus’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem drew a crowd,” says President Dieter F. Uchtdorf. “It was a glorious and exciting moment. But even more important was what Jesus did after He entered Jerusalem—even though much of it was done quietly, privately, even unnoticed by most people.” During this holy week of Easter, followers of Jesus Christ seek to focus on the Savior and His greater love for us. Take a moment to watch this inspiring short video excerpting President Uchtdorf’s reflections on the importance of Easter’s events. |

| “Language is probably one of the most pervasive uses of AI,” says BYU computer science professor Steve Richardson. It’s prophesied in scripture that “every man shall hear the fulness of the gospel in his own tongue” (D&C 90:11), but, asks Richardson, “how is that going to happen when there are 7,000 languages in the world?” The Pathsay project, a collaborative effort between BYU researchers and BYU Pathway students from all over Africa, is working on a way to bridge the gap by recording audio in low-resource languages like Xhosa, Twi, and Zulu and using it to train AI translation models. In this episode of the Y Magazine podcast, Richardson discusses how the program began, how it’s growing, and how it will serve communities around the world. Listen in. |
