An icon created using artificial intelligence technology has been consecrated in Belarus. According to the Belarusian outlet Katolik.life, on October 11 the former head of the Catholic Church in Belarus, Archbishop Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz, blessed the image.
The report does not specify exactly which technology was used to create the icon's image, nor the location where it was consecrated.
The use of artificial intelligence in creating religious images remains a subject of debate among representatives of various faiths: some view such technologies as a new tool for religious art, while others express concerns about the traditions of icon painting and the spiritual meaning invested in creating icons by hand.
The official position of the Catholic Church of Belarus on the use of AI in creating objects of worship is not given in the report.
