A Taoist temple in Malaysia introduces what it claims to be the world's first “Ai Mazu statue”, a digital version of China's respected Chinese goddess Mazu. According to a report from Southern Morning Post, AI-powered characters can talk to believers and answer their questions.
Tiantong Temple in Johor, southern Malaysia recently shared a video of interacting with the AI goddess, who appeared on the screen in traditional Chinese costume.
Worshippers can seek blessings from the digital Mazu, seek explanations of the stick of wealth, and even ask personal questions. The temple proudly declares her as “the world’s first AI Mazu.”
The Virtual Goddess was developed by a Malaysian technology company called Aimazin, which also provides AI cloning services. In the demonstration video, the company's founder Shin Kong asked, “Can I bring good luck to unexpected wealth?” Ai Mazu replied softly, “If you stay at home, you will be more lucky in the form of unpredictable wealth.”
In another example, it is recommended that a worshipper struggling with sleep drink warm water before going to bed, which is a simple but meaningful suggestion for AI gods.
The combination of spiritual tradition and modern technology has received a positive response from the public. Many believers praised AI Mazu for being both helpful and approachable. After the temple posted videos online, many users used prayer emoji comments to seek blessings from the digital goddess.
The launch of AI Mazu also marks a special occasion – Sea Goddess’ 1,065th birthday celebrated on April 20. According to legend, Mazu was born in 960 on the island of Michi Island in China. She was called Lin Mo and lost her life while trying to save people from the wreck and later became the guardian of the sailor.
