German Church Holds AI-Generated Christian Service

A Lutheran church in the town of Fuerth, Germany held an experimental Christian service almost entirely generated by artificial intelligence (AI) on Friday. The service, including the sermon, prayers, and music, was delivered by the ChatGPT chatbot, personified by an avatar of a bearded Black man on a huge screen above the altar.

The 40-minute service was created by ChatGPT and Jonas Simmerlein, a theologian and philosopher from the University of Vienna. Simmerlein said he "conceived" the service but "98% comes from the machine."

Saudi Arabia plans to invest US$40 billion in AI

The Saudi government plans to create a fund of about $40 billion for investing in artificial intelligence. The $40 billion target will dwarf the typical financing scale of American venture capital firms. In recent weeks, representatives of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund have discussed possible partnerships with top Silicon Valley venture capital firms such as the Anderson Horowitz Fund and other financiers. They cautioned that plans may still change. According to four insiders, Saudi representatives have mentioned to potential partners that the country is seeking support for a range of tech startups related to artificial intelligence, including chip manufacturers and expensive, large data centers that are increasingly necessary for the development of next-generation computing. Saudi Arabia is even considering starting its own artificial intelligence company.
