ChristConnect may use artificial intelligence to assist with Bible study, summaries, contextual explanations, prayer-writing prompts, journaling, devotionals, translations, sermon notes, course support, recommendations, moderation, and other features.
10.1 AI Is a Tool, Not Spiritual Authority
AI output is generated by software. It is not revelation from God, prophecy, the voice of the Holy Spirit, pastoral authority, divine guidance, or a substitute for Scripture, prayer, conscience, church community, or qualified human counsel.
10.2 Accuracy and Theological Diversity
AI may produce inaccurate citations, invented details, incorrect historical context, disputed theology, denominational bias, or inappropriate applications. ChristConnect should provide source references where practical and encourage users to verify important content against Scripture and trusted sources.
10.3 High-Stakes Topics
AI should not be relied on for medical, mental-health, legal, financial, emergency, abuse, self-harm, or other high-stakes decisions. The product should route users toward appropriate professional or emergency resources when serious risk is detected, consistent with applicable law and platform safety design.
10.4 Prayer, Prophecy, and Spiritual Discernment
AI may help format a prayer or reflection at the user's request, but it must not claim that God has spoken a specific message, predict supernatural outcomes with certainty, assign spiritual guilt, or pressure users to obey an AI-generated instruction.
10.5 AI Data Handling
AI prompts may be processed by authorized service providers. Product design should minimize unnecessary personal data, avoid transmitting sensitive private content when not needed, and provide any consent or settings required for use of AI data for training, product improvement, or safety evaluation.
10.6 Moderation and Recommendations
Automated moderation and recommendation systems can make mistakes. Users should have access to reporting and, where appropriate, appeal or human-review mechanisms for significant enforcement decisions.
