Members use AI to create Book of Mormon videos, raising plagiarism concerns
August 29, 2026 at 6:05 AM MT · via The Salt Lake Tribune · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting

Latter-day Saint creators are increasingly using artificial intelligence tools to produce videos depicting Book of Mormon stories, marking what the Salt Lake Tribune calls a new era in LDS cinema. The article examines whether AI-generated art — which critics argue is built on unauthorized use of copyrighted training data — can serve devotional purposes. The Church discontinued its own Book of Mormon video series in 2019 after producing episodes covering roughly one-third of the text, leaving a gap some members are attempting to fill with AI tools.
