Cover Story: This paper explores the use of AI-generated virtual speakers to enhance multilingual e-learning experiences. A system has been developed by writing Google Script into Google Sheets. It allows us to create and manage multilingual courses by integrating AI-powered virtual speakers to deliver content in learners’ native languages. Courses on topics for miners have been developed and delivered to 147 participants from various educational backgrounds. The main findings indicate that AI-generated speakers significantly improve the accessibility of e-learning content. Participants preferred content in their native language and found AI-generated videos effective and engaging. This study concludes that AI-generated virtual speakers offer a promising approach to overcome linguistic barriers in e-learning and provide personalized learning experiences. View this paper
