Artificial intelligence Project from IBM Debater for several years studying to prove to people their views and win an argument. In June 2018, he opposed the Israeli host Dan Zafira in a dispute about the allocation of grants in space exploration, and telemedicine and . Recently he faced a more serious opponent — the world champion in debate with the N. Harisen. They met at the IBM conference in San Francisco and spoke on the benefits and harm of subsidizing preschool education. The dispute was very intense and interesting.
The Theme of the debate was known in advance and announced immediately before the start of the event. Task artificial intelligence Project Debater was the belief of the audience in the use of subsidies, and the Harish N. opposed it. For preparation, participants were given 15 minutes — during this time AI had examined 10 billion news and Harish sketched pan statements.
The Debate was divided into how parts: a four-minute speech, the answers to the arguments of the opponent, and the final word duration to two minutes. His speech Debater Project began with a joke:
I heard that you hold the world record in debates against people, but I guess you never had a discussion with the machine. Welcome to the future!
In defense of the subsidies, artificial intelligence has announced that state support can protect children from disadvantaged families. In his view, aid to the needy should be a moral obligation of every human being. At these words the N. replied that subsidies are not necessarily guaranteed the improvement of the quality of education. In his opinion, such measures can be a simple distribution of money to the middle class and needy people can not get help.
When N. suggested that some children may not need in the childhood garden, artificial intelligence quoted him as "My opponent stated that day care was harmful." Despite such barbs, a champion in debate showed more concrete and convincing arguments than Project Debater.
The Judges were 416 people from the auditorium. Using smartphones they voted before the debate and after. In his speech the Harish N. persuaded 17% of viewers, so the victory was awarded to him. Artificial intelligence, in turn, was able to bring the audience a lot more new knowledge than man. According to haritha, Project Debater is a very strong opponent which gives quite a convincing and appropriate to the context of the dispute the arguments.
