• Environmentally  and socially  sustainable  AI:  Responsible  AI  development  must  also
                   consider its impact on the planet and society. Ethical AI supports the creation of systems
                   that use resources efficiently, reduce energy consumption, and minimise environmental harm.
                   Additionally, it addresses the social consequences of AI, such as job displacement and digital
                   inequality, promoting long-term, sustainable progress.
                 Integrating  ethics  into  AI  is  essential  for  building  systems  that  are  trustworthy,  fair,  and

                 accountable. Ethical AI doesn't just focus on innovation—it ensures that technological progress
                 aligns with human values, avoids harmful biases, protects user data, and supports a sustainable
                 future for everyone.




                    Activity

                  BALLOON DEBATE

                  Purpose:
                  To introduce students to the complex and critical topic of ethics in Artificial Intelligence (AI),

                  focusing on issues such as bias, accessibility, privacy, and the broader societal impact. This
                  activity will help students explore diverse perspectives on AI applications and develop skills in
                  critical thinking, public speaking, and respectful debate.

                  Introduction to the Activity:
                  We will conduct a 4 vs 4 team debate to explore the benefits and challenges of AI applications

                  in various industries. Each theme you researched is assigned to two teams: one will argue
                  in favour of AI’s role in that industry, and the other will argue against it. This will give you a
                  chance to see AI from different angles and think critically about its ethical implications.

                  How the debate will work:
                     • The debate will proceed theme by theme.

                     • Each member of the teams will have one minute to speak.

                     • The affirmative team’s first speaker starts the debate, followed by the first speaker from
                     the opposing team.
                     • Speakers alternate until everyone has presented their arguments.

                     • The team that makes the most convincing case will stay in the debate, while the other team
                     may be “thrown out.”

                     • Important: If any speaker exceeds the one-minute limit, their entire team will be disqualified
                     from that round.
                     • You  will  get  15 minutes to prepare  your  arguments  before  each  debate  begins.  Your

                     preparation time starts now!
