Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes;
and I will keep it to the end.
Give me understanding, that I may keep your law
and observe it with my whole heart.
Lead me in the path of your commandments,
for I delight in it.
Incline my heart to your testimonies,
and not to selfish gain!
Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things;
and give me life in your ways.
Confirm to your servant your promise,
that you may be feared.
Turn away the reproach that I dread,
for your rules are good.
Behold, I long for your precepts...
-Psalm 119: 33-40

European ‘Activist‘ Uses AI Facial Recognition Tech to Identify Masked ICE Officers Skinner, who declined to reveal the specific AI model used in his project, acknowledged that the technology is flawed and can lead to incorrect matches on social media profiles. He maintains that a group of volunteers verifies the identities through an additional process before posting any names online. While he doesn’t believe the ICE List endangers officers, as it only includes names and not personal information like addresses, he does acknowledge that a name alone could lead to the discovery of an officer’s personal data.

In a world where language and speech are often abused; where “misinformation” is passed on as lies, and truth is condemned as misinformation; it is especially important that we offer a better word. And that we take on board the many teachings in Scripture about how, where and when we speak. Can we not learn to disagree well? Those of us who are conflict averse need to be careful that we are not afraid to speak directly rather than engage in indirect speech (gossip). Those of us who seem to be conflict-driven need to repent of our aggressive speech and learn to follow the One who spoke strongly but was also gentle.
It’s a minefield for speaker/writer and hearer/reader alike. But one we have to traverse. We need to bear in mind the ninth commandment and the fact that those who “love and practice falsehood” are outside the city (Rev.21v15). Perhaps every time we write, or engage in a significant conversation, we should pray – “May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer” (Ps.19v14).
