My faith-based organisation, Light Everywhere Global, has an expression called the Professionals And Missions Hub. It mobilises Christian professionals to engage in kingdom mission work every weekend. We have established mission outlets at several orphanages in different locations, pouring into the children’s lives holistically, spirit, soul, and body. Their bodies are being strengthened with essential provisions, their spirits are lifted as we share God’s Word, and their minds are being awakened and empowered through practical sessions on Artificial Intelligence. When we started, I discovered something concerning: while their spiritual and physical needs were usually being met, one critical area was missing: THEY WERE NOT BEING SYSTEMATICALLY EQUIPPED WITH FUTURE-READY SKILLS, ESPECIALLY AROUND AI. I was saddened to find that even many teenagers in orphanages were hearing about popular AI tools like ChatGPT for the very first time during our sessions. It became obvious that many children in orphanages risk being left out of a technological shift that will shape education, employment, entrepreneurship, and everyday life. Rather than just complain, I rose to the task and birthed an initiative called AI For Orphans. Children in orphanages across Africa often already face disadvantages in access to technology, mentorship, and professional networks. AI For Orphans is not just about making them familiar with AI. It is a continental empowerment movement that is mobilising AI to equip and uplift African orphans. Jesus called us to be the light and salt of the earth. In a self-centered world, I’m also encouraging you to sacrificially yield yourself as a tool in God’s hands to be a blessing to your generation, especially by solving problems for a subset of society that aligns with your passion and gifting. by Sunday-Akanni M. https://www.facebook.com/100003038222908/posts/28128333386851226/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v

This is not just an orphanage issue. More than 70% of Nigerian children have little to no knowledge of AI. If that is the reality for children generally, then the situation is even less concerning for children in orphanages and other vulnerable communities. |

my views of life changed when i was admitted for hospital for ruptured appendix. i saw different missions, churches coming to assist patients with items, paying bills of patients, praying for them b4 leaving. a day i went to clear my friend in court, i saw people carrying big coolers of take away foods, another set of people with complete toiletries , another set with 1k notes in many bundles waiting outside court building,for prisoners to arrive court and rushing to present all 3 sets of gift to them. the judges even had to wait for the food, 1k notes and toiletries to be given. i, as a man, shed tears that day. i saw a policewoman crying there,more than half of the prisoners were set free that day. this occurs regularly |

Interesting15:In my opinion some of those AI tools oversimplify things thereby making people mentally lazy, it's even better for the orphans not to have been too exposed to AI. We're even seeing the effects here on Nairaland - someone will ask a basic question and another person will go and run it through ChatGPT then come and paste the response here word-for-word without even reading through it or doing some editing because he is to mentally lazy |

Interesting15:Do they have regular internet there? If not, let me know. I used to deploy software we called “offline” software that could host the entire Wikipedia or even Khan School so students could connect over a local network and access really fun learning materials. Happy to go into that again |

Sometimes I wonder.... how can you be a Christian... be of God ... and think you are doing good .. a Godly thing ... by introducing AI to orphans ... when AI is a tool to diminish God? As a Christian... wasn't this very pursuit of technology the reason for God to flood the earth? ... because of man and his technology? ... trying to be God? Isn't it the same road we're on again?... with technology? .. as in AI? Chew on that . There is nothing new under the sun |

Do they need AI This is social engineering being done harmlessly and unknowingly. The world evolves, we are living in a time span our parents didn't train us to live in. The future is Dynamic, no one knows the direction it will head tomorrow What they need is basic survival skills and access to further their skills not AI AI makes people systematically lazy and trust me , one day you will be so dependent on it, that they will take it away from you and you will become almost useless. |

Originalsly:I hope this a joke. So why are you using this phone, this site, the internet, cars et al. God gave man wisdom to thrive! Knowledge comes from God, he allow men use it freely, some use it to do evil others good. |
