We are excited to share a momentous achievement for VideoTranslatorAI. During the AFAC24 Conference & Exhibition, the NSW Government recognised our company under the Natural Hazards Technology Program (NHTP). In his speech, Jihad Dib, the NSW Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government, Minister for Emergency Services, and Minister for Youth Justice, commended our AI-powered translation technology for its pivotal role in enhancing public safety.
Minister Dib Praises Our AI-Powered Translation Technology
In his address, Minister Dib highlighted the importance of effective communication during emergencies, especially in a multicultural society like Australia. He praised VideoTranslatorAI’s innovative technology, which facilitates the rapid translation of emergency warnings.
"One of the things that we've invested in is making sure that we can do translation services that are instant using AI that go to the Hazards Near Me app," — Minister Dib.
This capability ensures that vital information is delivered promptly and accurately to diverse communities, helping protect lives during natural disasters or other emergencies.
The Minister emphasised how our technology has been instrumental in ensuring inclusivity and that no one is left behind due to language barriers. This recognition is an acknowledgment of our work and a testament to the importance of accessible communication in ensuring public safety.
The Impact of AI in Emergency Response
In Australia, where communities speak over 300 languages, clear and timely communication can be the difference between safety and danger. Our advanced AI translation technology is designed to overcome language barriers by quickly translating emergency messages in multiple languages. Whether it’s an evacuation order, a bushfire warning, or flood advice, we’re proud to be a part of the solution that delivers critical information to every corner of society.
With natural disasters occurring more frequently, such a system has never been more essential. Minister Dib’s recognition highlights our technology and commitment to a more inclusive and equitable approach to emergency response.
A Step Forward with the Natural Hazards Technology Program (NHTP)
Receiving a grant under the NHTP is a significant milestone for VideoTranslatorAI. It enables us to continue innovating and improving our AI-powered solutions, making them even more effective in addressing real-world challenges. We are grateful for the NSW Government’s support and look forward to further developing tools that enhance emergency response and save lives.
