Malaysia AI Company Unveils World’s First AI-Powered Mazu Statue On the Goddess's Birthday

A Malaysian Taoist temple has unveiled what it claims is the world’s first AI-powered Mazu statue — offering worshippers a chance to interact directly with the revered sea goddess.

The Tianhou Temple, located in Johor, southern Malaysia, recently released footage showing believers engaging with the AI Mazu through a digital screen.

The deity is depicted as a graceful woman dressed in traditional Chinese attire, resembling a softer, fuller version of famed Chinese actress Liu Yifei.

Worshippers are invited to seek blessings, ask questions about their fortunes, and even request explanations for fortune sticks they draw at the temple. The temple proudly stated that this is the first AI Mazu ever created.

The AI deity was developed by Aimazin, a Malaysian technology firm known for its expertise in AI cloning services.

In demonstration videos, worshippers—clearly amused and amazed—test out the AI system. For instance, Aimazin’s founder, Shin Kong, asked Mazu if she would have luck in receiving unexpected fortune . In a calm, tender voice, the AI Mazu advised that staying at home would bring better fortune.

Another visitor, an influencer, confided that she had trouble sleeping. Addressing her gently as “my child,” AI Mazu advised her to drink some warm water before bedtime.

The digital deity quickly became a sensation online, with numerous users posting prayer emojis and blessing requests under the temple’s social media posts.

The launch of the AI Mazu was timed to celebrate the 1,065th birthday of the sea goddess, which fell on April 20 this year.
