  • This House Believes That the widespread use of the global AI Jesus does more harm than good

    Infoslide

    AI Jesus is a large language model, designed to interact with its users and offer them religious guidance based on the texts of the Bible and teachings of the church thus far. Some versions of AI Jesus have been built into digital confessionals or chat systems, letting people ask for advice, explore Bible passages, or even have simulated spiritual conversations.

  • This House would whistleblow about the existence, capabilities and characteristics of Horizon.

    Infoslide

    You are a top artificial intelligence engineer at a leading AI firm developing an experimental artificial intelligence called “Horizon” using human brainwave data. Horizon produces continuous output indistinguishable from human thoughts. You have run a series of tests on Horizon and believe it to be indistinguishable from a human consciousness and several times as intelligent. You have voiced your concerns to your firm's management team, but they still intend to use Horizon to power a new AI product.

  • This House supports the use of AI tools (eg. Interview Coder) to assist candidates during job interviews.

    Infoslide

    Interview Coder is an AI-powered tool created by now-expelled Columbia University student Roy Lee to help candidates during technical coding interviews, especially those using LeetCode-style questions. The tool runs invisibly on a user’s computer, capturing screenshots of coding problems and using AI (such as ChatGPT) to generate solutions with step-by-step explanations.

  • This House, as the Creator, would grant the Creature a companion.

    Infoslide

    An individual (the Creator) successfully brings into existence a unique, intelligent, and sentient being (the Creature) through artificial means. Due to its unnatural origins and distinct appearance, the Creature is met with universal fear and revulsion from society, leading to profound isolation and suffering. Driven by this anguish and rejection, the Creature commits acts of violence against the society and the loved ones of the Creator. The Creature then confronts its Creator, demanding that a companion of its own kind be made, promising that if this is done, they will both retreat from human society and cause no further harm.

  • This house believes that societies should aspire to drastically reduce working hours rather than integrate and optimize human labor

    Infoslide

    In 1930, economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that advances in productivity would eventually allow humans to work as little as 15 hours per week. Nearly a century later, despite major technological progress and the emergence of artificial intelligence, average working hours in many countries remain largely unchanged. With the growing capability of AI to perform complex cognitive and physical tasks, societies now face a choice: to use these advancements to reduce the human burden of labor — potentially restructuring economic life around leisure and non-work pursuits — or to further integrate humans into increasingly efficient, data-optimized systems of work.

  • This house supports the concept of an 'AI state'

    Infoslide

    For the purposes of this debate, an 'AI State' is a mode of governance fully administered by an advanced Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) system. This system holds authority over legislative, judicial, and executive functions. It is responsible for generating laws, setting policies, allocating budgets, resolving legal disputes, and overseeing enforcement. Human political representatives, civil servants, and judges no longer play decision-making roles. The AI system continuously updates its outputs based on data input from the population, the environment, and other relevant sources. Parameters and design protocols were established during the initial transition period but are no longer actively modified by humans.
