Event Purpose

This event challenges common assumptions about artificial intelligence by encouraging students to think critically about its real-world impact across engineering domains. Participants will explore both the capabilities and limitations of AI, moving beyond hype to practical, evidence-based reasoning.

How It Works

1 · Claim Selection

Judges randomly select a bold AI-related claim. Four students with relevant majors are called to form two competing teams.

2 · Quick Preparation

Teams have one minute to prepare using any resources, including AI tools and online research.

3 · Debate Round

Each participant speaks for two minutes, presenting arguments, challenging assumptions, and proposing realistic solutions.

4 · Feedback & Prizes

Judges provide feedback after each round, and both teams receive prizes.

Debate Topics

Examples of claims participants may challenge:

AI makes better decisions than humans
AI can fully automate cybersecurity
AI diagnoses better than doctors
Autonomous systems are completely safe
AI will replace most jobs
AI alone can solve sustainability challenges

Join the Debate

Put your thinking to the test, challenge assumptions, and engage in a fast-paced engineering debate.
