The temple proudly described it as the “first AI Mazu in the world,” marking a historic blend of faith and technology.

Developed by a Malaysian Tech Company:

The project was developed by Aimazin, a Malaysian technology firm known for its AI cloning services. In a demonstration, Aimazin founder Shin Kong asked the AI Mazu about luck for unexpected wealth. In a serene voice, the digital goddess responded, “You would have better luck in terms of an unexpected fortune if you stay at home.”

In another interaction, an influencer struggling with sleeplessness sought advice. AI Mazu affectionately called her “my child” and advised, “Drink some warm water before going to sleep.”

Following the launch, the temple’s social media platforms were flooded with comments and prayer emojis as worshippers from across the region sought blessings from the AI goddess.

Honouring Tradition with Technology:

The launch coincided with Mazu’s 1,065th birthday on April 20, 2025.
Mazu, born as Lin Mo in 960 on Meizhou Island, Fujian, China, is believed to have ascended to heaven after a heroic life rescuing shipwreck victims. She remains one of the most widely venerated deities among Chinese communities globally, particularly in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia.

With the AI Mazu project, the Tianhou Temple is not only preserving a centuries-old tradition but also adapting it to engage the younger, tech-savvy generation of worshippers.
