Christian Practices for AI-Era Youth Discernment

Which Christian practices and community rhythms help young people examine their AI use with agency, embodiment, truthful attention, relationship, and spiritual discernment? What measurable outcomes and safeguards should guide future formation-oriented research or programming?

Why this matters

The question behind the brief.

Young people are encountering AI through school, work, social life, search, and personal guidance. Generic digital-literacy advice may not address questions of vocation, dependence, prayer, truthfulness, community, attention, and the meaning of human dignity. Churches and educators need evidence before treating any particular practice or curriculum as a solution.

Ways to help

Move this from question to evidence.

Review the framework from youth ministry, theology, developmental science, education, and HAI research.

Contribute safeguarding, consent, and research-ethics expertise.

Help recruit diverse young-adult and practitioner co-design participants.
