A research group from Kyoto University has developed a Protestant catechism bot, which recites passages from the Bible, as “a starting point for future Christian AI creation.”
The project, announced last week, is the latest in a series of collaborations between professor Seiji Kumagai of the Institute for the Future of Human Society, who led the project, and Toshikazu Furuya, CEO of Teraverse, which has previously focused on Buddhist artificial intelligence products and tools.
Initially, its use will be limited to “believers under clergy guidance or by the general public within church settings,” said Kumagai, but “subsequently, discussions with clergy will explore how to expand the reach to Christian believers and further to non-Christian believers,” he said.
