Balloon Debate
Say: “We are going to debate about the boon and bane of various AI applications in the different
industries you researched about. This will be a 4 v 4 debate. As you know, each theme has been given
to two different teams. Now one team out of these two with be in affirmation with AI applications in
their theme while the other one will be against AI applications in the same theme. The debate will go
theme by theme wherein each member of the team will get a minute to speak. The first speaker of the
affirmative team will start the debate after which the first speaker of the rebuttal team will put their
points. In this manner, each speaker will get a minute to speak and finally one team will be chosen to
be thrown out of the balloon debate depending upon how convincing their points were. The speaker
who speaks more than a minute will get his team disqualified. You will get 15 minutes to prepare your
points. And your time starts now!”
Imagine there are two families of four people out for a ride in a hot air balloon. Suddenly, the balloon
starts to move towards the earth instead of staying airborne. To stabilize it, one family needs to take
the parachute and go out of the balloon or else it will come crashing down.
Who should be thrown out of the hot air balloon?
At a Glance
• Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that simulates human intelligence into machines, especially
in computer systems, so that they can think and perform actions similar to humans.
• Machines are fed with enough data and correct algorithms to make them intelligent.
• Every automated gadget around us is not necessarily AI-based.
• The modern-day AI came into existence in the 1950s when Alan Turning introduced the “Turing Test” for assessment
of intelligence.
• Human-machine interaction (HMI) can be defined as the communication or interaction between humans and
machines through a user interface to fulfill a specific task or operation.
• Artificial Intelligence is composed of three domains which are Data, Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing.
• Data is a domain of AI that is related to data input to the AI machine.
• Computer Vision (CV) is the domain of Artificial Intelligence that is used to train computers to read, process and
analyse visual data in the same way as humans do.
• NLP gives the ability to machines to read, understand and analyse meaning from human language.
• Smart Living is a trend that improves our living standards and allows people the to take benefit from new ways of
living.
• In 2015, the General Assembly adopted the 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development that includes 17 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
• AI is a suite of technologies where machines automatically learn and adapt to a specific environment.
