Artificial Intelligence Debate of the Ingenuity Labs Robotics and AI Symposium (RAIS2021) from October 13, 2022:

AI is everywhere. It’s creating realistic images and art from text descriptions. It’s even starting to be used to help with some of the work that some lawyers typically do making access to justice easier for more people. AI is also being deployed in medical applications and in diagnosing human disease. News organizations are writing a lot about how work will be impacted by AI. In this debate, we will explore whether or not AI systems will replace most of the existing jobs that humans currently do.


Two participants will debate that AI systems will eventually take most of the existing jobs from humans while the other two participants will debate that AI systems will not be able to replace jobs that humans do. Each debater will be allotted 5 minutes for their opening statements followed by 20 minutes of rebuttals. The debate will close with a discussion and Q&A session from the audience.


We’ve given each panel member a side to argue in this debate even though their personal and employers’ positions on the debate question may be different. They’ll each have an opportunity to clarify their personal views on the debate question during the discussion at the end.


The debate will be moderated by Amber Mac and will feature Dr. Parinaz Sobhani (Georgian), Dr. Sedef Akinli Kocak (Vector Institute), Dr. Ceren Kolsarici (Smith School of Business and Ingenuity Labs), and Dr. Christian Muise (Queen’s School of Computing and Ingenuity Labs).
