Current discussions of artificial intelligence increasingly center on questions of attention: what systems attend to, how attention is trained or captured, and how human attention is shaped by technological mediation. This paper argues that the Book of Proverbs offers a theologically rich and underexplored account of attention as a moral and spiritual capacity essential to wisdom. Proverbs repeatedly exhorts its hearers to "listen," "incline the ear," "set the heart," and "guard" perception, framing attention not as a neutral cognitive function but as a cultivated orientation of the whole person toward what is true, good, and life-giving. Through consideration of key passages (e.g., Prov 1-9; 4:20-27; 22:17-21), this paper analyzes how attention in Proverbs integrates hearing, seeing, remembering, and desiring, and how disordered attention leads to folly, deception, and moral drift. Attention is shown to be inseparable from responsibility: wisdom requires sustained, receptive attentiveness to instruction, to moral reality, and ultimately to the fear of the LORD. In dialogue with contemporary debates about artificial intelligence and machine "attention," the paper argues that Proverbs resists any reduction of attention to mere information processing. Instead, it presents attention as normatively ordered, relational, and teleological, all features which mark a decisive boundary between human wisdom and algorithmic optimization. Drawing on Reformed theological anthropology, the paper concludes by suggesting that Proverbs offers critical resources for evaluating the promises and perils of AI systems that increasingly shape what humans notice, value, and become.
