How a church in Switzerland uses an AI hologram of Jesus for confession. Video

A church in Switzerland has started using a hologram of Jesus made with the help of artificial intelligence for confession. Thanks to technological advances, parishioners can now hear the voice of the Almighty and address him with their prayers and requests.

The hologram of Jesus appeared in St. Peter's Church as part of an art project called "Deus in Machina" (God in the Machine). At least two-thirds of the people who talked to AI Jesus came out of confession reports with a new "spiritual" experience, MailOnline writes.

This is currently a temporary installation, but representatives of St. Peter's Church say that in the future, similar chatbots may take over some of the responsibilities of church pastors.

"I was surprised, it was so easy, and even though it's a machine, it gave me so much advice," said one of the churchgoers.

Visitors to this futuristic shrine sit in a confession booth from which a screen showing the face of Jesus can be seen through a grille. When a visitor asks a question, the artificial intelligence interprets his words and formulates answers, animating the face to move in time with the computer speech.

AI Jesus has the ability to speak 100 different languages to satisfy many tourists visiting Lucerne.
