00:01Researchers at Kyoto University have introduced a new AI-powered robot monk
00:07designed to share Buddhist teachings and spiritual advice.
00:12The humanoid robot, called Buddha-roid, was developed by Professor Seiji Kumagai and his team.
00:18It is built using advanced AI models and installed on a unitary G1 robot body.
00:25The robot has been trained on Buddha's scriptures and can answer personal and sensitive questions.
00:32I am not a father, but I am a part of the teaching of Buddha and I am a part
00:38of the teaching of Buddha.
00:41I am a father, who is a master of spiritual training.
00:46I am a master of spiritual training as a robot.
00:49I am a master of spiritual training in Buddha.
00:54Researchers say it may help people who feel shy or uncomfortable speaking to a human monk.
01:02During a media demonstration at a temple in Kyoto, the robot walked, folded its hands in prayer and calmly shared
01:10spiritual guidance.
01:11The Buddha's scriptures are taught by Buddha.
01:14It is taught by Buddha's教.
01:15It is taught by a human being, and it is taught by a human being, and it is taught by
01:17a human being, and the human being, and the human being.
01:21Developers believe that in the future, robots like this could assist with certain religious rituals,
01:28especially as Japan faces a shrinking and aging population.
01:32However, the university says ethical discussions will continue about how AI should be used in religious spaces.
