京都大学的"佛陀罗伊德"机器人僧侣使用人工智能提供佛教指导, Kyoto University's "Buddharoid" robot monk uses AI to offer Buddhist guidance, addressing Japan's shortage of human monks.

来自京都大学的日本研究人员揭开了“Buddharoid”这个由AI授权的机器人和尚,旨在利用佛教教义提供精神指导。 Japanese researchers from Kyoto University have unveiled "Buddharoid," an AI-powered robot monk designed to offer spiritual guidance using Buddhist teachings. 该机器人建在中国制造的Unite G1平台上,并配有佛波特普卢斯人工智能系统,不露脸、灰色的机器人可以进行交谈,作出像祈祷一样的手势,并回答敏感的个人问题。 Built on a Chinese-made Unitree G1 platform and equipped with the BuddhaBotPlus AI system, the faceless, grey-robed robot can hold conversations, perform prayer-like gestures, and respond to sensitive personal questions. 其宗旨是解决日本老龄化社会中人类僧侣短缺的问题。 Developed by Professor Seiji Kumagai, it aims to address shortages of human monks in Japan’s aging society. 机器人虽然无意取代神职人员,但代表了将AI纳入宗教实践的一步,引起了关于技术在精神方面作用的伦理问题。 While not intended to replace clergy, the robot represents a step toward integrating AI into religious practice, raising ethical questions about technology’s role in spirituality.
