Tech Meets Theology: AI Jesus Debuts
In a groundbreaking move, a Swiss church has introduced an AI-powered “Jesus” to lead prayers and sermons, reports The Guardian. Dubbed “Deus in Machina,” the AI integrates with an interactive platform to deliver biblical teachings, answer theological questions, and engage with congregants in innovative ways.
Spiritual Revolution or Ethical Conundrum?
