AhlulBayt News Agency: A new version of the AI-powered Manarat Al-Haramain Robot has been unveiled to assist Hajj pilgrims in Mecca.
As preparations continue in Saudi Arabia for the start of Hajj, pilgrims in need of guidance will have access to a high-tech assistant that merges Islamic traditions with the latest advancements in artificial intelligence.
The Presidency of Religious Affairs at the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque introduced the second version of its AI-powered Manarat Al-Haramain Robot on Wednesday. This initiative aims to utilize advanced technologies to enhance the spiritual experiences of pilgrims.
The robot will serve as a reference point for religious inquiries at the Grand Mosque. It can connect worshippers and visitors to direct video calls with muftis who can provide answers to their questions.
The updated version of the robot features software and designs inspired by traditional Islamic motifs and architecture found at the Two Holy Mosques in Mecca and Medina. The presidency stated that the robot integrates authenticity, modernity, and advanced technology to improve pilgrims' experiences by offering easy access to information.
Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage that every Muslim must undertake at least once in their lifetime if they are physically and financially able, is expected to begin in Mecca on June 4 and conclude on June 9. Pilgrims from around the world have already started arriving in Saudi Arabia.
