Artificial Intelligence (A School Debate)

Debate Argument: Using computers to replace humans. Are the goals of AI ethical? Who should be held responsible for the actions of an intelligent agent? 

(Negative Side Response)

"The prospect of using computers to replace humans raises ethical concerns that demand careful consideration. While advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) may seem enticing, we must critically assess the implications of such technologies on our society."

First and foremost, intelligence is a unique gift bestowed upon humanity. Introducing a world dominated by robots lessens the essence of human experience. If robots were to replace humans in every sphere, we risk a deprivation of our privileges and rights, resulting in a society where humans are left marginalized.

Consider the scenario of entrusting our well-being to a robot nurse in a hospital or undergoing surgery with a robot doctor in the operating room. The potential consequences of such a reality sound unsettling. While robots may possess embedded intelligence, they lack the subjective ability to make decisions when untoward circumstances happen, and emotional capacity inherent in human decision-making.
