AI Jesus in Swiss Church Confessional Sparks Global Debate | EWTN News Nightly

A new art exhibit is making headlines across the globe, after a Church has put an artificial intelligence version of Jesus Christ in a confessional. The installation, titled "Deus in Machina" is on exhibit at St. Peter's Chapel in Lucerne, Switzerland. People can interact with a hologram version of Jesus and receive spiritual advice and encouragement. EWTN News Editor for Europe and Asia, Christoph Wimmer, discusses the many reports that AI Jesus is taking confessions, but the technology is not actually involved in the sacrament of penance. Wimmer tells us what's been the response among people who have experienced the art exhibit. He shares whether there have been any concerns about the exhibit such as potential problems that could arise.
