Should AI be allowed to replace human artists? Who should decide the ethical limits of technology: governments, companies, scientists... or society as a whole? Should parents be allowed to genetically edit their future children if the technology becomes safe enough? As technology advances faster than our laws, our ethics are struggling to keep up. Join Clayton, an award-winning debater and national-level debate coach in both China and the United States, for a lively debate exploring some of the biggest moral questions of the modern world. Together, you'll examine the arguments from multiple perspectives, challenge your own assumptions and discover why these issues are far more complex than they first appear.
Whether you've never debated before or already love a good intellectual challenge, this session is designed for everyone. Clayton will coach you throughout the discussions, showing you how to build stronger arguments, respond persuasively to opposing viewpoints and think more clearly under pressure. Expect an evening full of smart conversation, surprising ideas, plenty of interaction and a few moments where you may completely rethink your own position. As the future becomes increasingly shaped by technology, learning how to discuss its ethical consequences may be one of the most valuable skills you can develop.
AI 应该被允许取代人类艺术家吗?科技的伦理边界应该由谁决定——政府、企业、科学家,还是整个社会?如果技术足够安全,父母是否应该被允许对未来的孩子进行基因编辑?科技进步的速度越来越快,法律和伦理却常常跟不上。来和 Clayton 一起聊聊现代社会里一些重要的道德议题。他是一位获奖辩手,也曾在中国和美国担任国家级辩论教练。在这场高互动辩论中,你会从不同视角审视观点、挑战自己的既有假设,也会发现这些问题远比初看时复杂。
无论你从没辩过论,还是本来就喜欢脑力交锋,这场活动都适合你。Clayton 会在讨论中一路带着大家,教你怎样构建更有说服力的论点、如何回应对立观点,以及如何在压力下更清晰地思考。准备好迎接一个充满好观点、意外想法和充分互动的下午吧——你可能会在某个瞬间,彻底重新考虑自己的立场。未来会越来越受科技塑造,而学会讨论它带来的伦理影响,也许会成为一项很有价值的能力。
