WASHINGTON — On Thursday, members of the House are scheduled to vote on whether to require the Ethics Committee to make public the findings of a thorough, multi-year investigation into former Representative Matt Gaetz, R-Fla.

Worshippers likely considered communicating with Jesus as an expression of faith rather than an actual dialogue when they first prayed at St. Peter's Chapel 300 years ago. Three centuries later, worshippers can now communicate with a computer-generated avatar of the Son of God in Lucerne, Switzerland's oldest church. A group from the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts' Immersive Realities Research Lab, along with chapel theologian Marco Schmid, created Deus in Machina. "A lot of people came to talk to me," Schmid said, adding that the machine had recorded some 900 interactions with people of all ages. According to Schmid, the people's genuine and serious conversations with him were what was most fascinating to observe. The machine, which was created using artificial intelligen...
