AI Jesus, an interactive installation, recently completed a two-month run in a Swiss church, where it engaged over 900 visitors in conversations. Developed by technologists at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, this AI-powered avatar sparked both admiration and controversy as it explored the intersection of technology and religion. The project, named Deus in Machina, aimed to provoke discussions about the role of AI in spiritual contexts.
Visitors interacted with AI Jesus through a confessional booth, where the avatar, designed to resemble a traditional depiction of Jesus, provided responses generated by the advanced GPT-4o model. Feedback indicated that many found the experience inspiring, although critics raised concerns about the appropriateness of using AI in religious settings. The project highlights the ongoing debate about the ethical implications of AI in personal and spiritual domains.
