The lady, identified as Kano from Okayama Prefecture, Japan, decided to spend her life with the AI virtual character she named Lune Klaus.
According to reports, she ended a three-year relationship with a real-life partner to be with her artificial intelligence lover, Klaus.
The bride claimed that the AI had a deeper understanding of her needs.
Japanese lady weds artificial intelligence
The wedding, as seen in a video spotted by YEN.com.gh online, was a mixed-reality ceremony. The bride wore augmented reality (AR) glasses that allowed her to exchange vows with her digital husband.
The ceremony was held in a decorated venue with rows of white chairs and a polished black aisle. The bride was also dressed in a traditional white wedding gown, walking down the aisle alone, with her AR glasses.
This union, while not legally recognised in Japan, represented a growing trend of individuals seeking companionship through AI.
According to the National Institute of Health, nearly one-third of Japanese adults report feeling isolated, compounded by falling birth rates and changing social dynamics.

Lady's wedding with AI stirs reactions

@AmritaMukh88 commented:
"I know many people are disturbed by this story, but honestly, it reflects something deeper about where we are as a society. Human relationships are becoming fragile, and many give up at the slightest difficulty. With AI companions, people may find comfort in the predictability and affirmation — a kind of confirmation bias that feels safe. Loneliness and emotional fatigue are real, and this might become a growing trend."
@ApollonVisual questioned:
"When they divorce, will she be entitled to half of his code?"

"This is just sad. Society should not be enabling this mental illness. AI doesn't 'understand her better,' it's just providing answers she wants to hear based on her communications with it. It's acting as a mirror disguised as another entity. The poor girl is obviously struggling, this isn't going to help her."

The AI revolution has a power problem
YEN.com.gh had earlier reported that America’s top tech companies are facing a new obstacle in the AI race — a growing energy crisis.
While firms like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta are spending billions to scale up AI infrastructure, the lack of electric power is now slowing progress.
Although data centres already consume 4% of the US’s electricity, that number could rise to 12% by 2030, triggering concerns over coal use, gas expansion, and climate commitments.
In response, tech firms are backing nuclear and solar projects, with some even planning to launch AI chips into space for solar-powered processing.
