Dearest Lord
You brought us into a world now learning to live with artificial intelligence (AI).
For many of us it is a struggle to understand the implications of these systems, so we ask for your help and guidance as to how we might engage with them.
Help us to be wise when we encounter any of the ways in which AI might impinge on our lives. If we seek information from AI, help us be alert to the need to fact-check any responses.
If looking for guidance, remind us, Lord, that AI is only an electronic system that trawls all the information to be found on the web and delivers it with no discrimination between what is good, neutral or evil. Help us remember AI has no moral compass.
If we should become aware of others seeking guidance from AI, give us courage to warn them of the risks and encourage them to seek Biblical and well-qualified human guidance.
And dear Lord, help us remember AI is designed to make profits for large corporations, so to treat all that is provided by way of information, images, guidance or distractions, with circumspection and wisdom, and to surround any encounters we might have with prayer.
Amen

Also dear Lord, help us to find reliable information that will build our understanding of how AI is developing, so that we can guide our children towards the AI possibilities that can be helpful to them, and away from those sites and trends that will harm them, particularly psychologically and mentally. Amen
