Artificial Intelligence as a Tool Supporting Prayer Practices.

This article attempts to describe Poles' attitudes towards AI in the development of Christian prayer as a technology supporting prayer practices. Four research questions were formulated: 1. Do the frequency of prayer and engagement in religious practices influence the attitudes of Poles towards prayer programs/applications based on AI technology? 2. Does believers' age affect Poles' attitudes towards prayer programs/applications based on AI? 3. Does believers' place of residence affect the attitude of Poles towards AI-based prayer programs/applications? 4. Do current users of the prayer-supporting applications plan to continue using it, and are new believers considering using it in the future? Research hypotheses were adopted to verify the research problem, with the first, second, and third being positively verified. H1: The higher the level of prayer frequency and engagement in religious practices of respondents, the more conservative the attitude towards prayer programs/applications based on AI; H2: The age of respondents differentiates the attitudes of Poles towards prayer programs/applications. H3: The respondents' place of residence differentiates Poles' attitudes towards prayer programs/applications. H4: Most AI users plan to continue such usage in the future, while new practitioners will appear. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
