In Seoul’s Insa-dong, an exhibition features ShamAIn, an AI fortune-telling system created by a Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) research team. This AI shrine, led by Professor Nam Taek-jin, offers divination services rooted in Korean tradition. Users input personal details into a digital tablet, and the AI provides insights based on saju principles, which consider birth year, month, date, and time. The setup mimics a shaman’s house, aiming to explore AI’s potential to influence human emotions and judgments beyond being just a tool.

Editor’s Note: The emergence of ShamAIn blurs the lines between technology and spirituality, challenging our fundamental understanding of the divine. By automating fortune-telling, AI encroaches upon a domain traditionally reserved for human intuition and spiritual insight, raising questions about the authenticity and meaning of such experiences. While some may find comfort in the AI’s pronouncements, others may see it as a hollow imitation, devoid of genuine connection to the transcendent. This development invites a critical examination of our relationship with faith and the search for meaning in an increasingly technological world, prompting us to consider whether spirituality can be quantified and replicated or if it remains an intrinsically human endeavor.
