• 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!
