Debating the Future: Is AI the Right Move?

Description

The team is gathered at a dinner party when the topic of AI in hiring comes up. At first, it’s a casual discussion, but opinions quickly clash as people have different views based on their fields. Hania (Business Tech Management) strongly supports AI, arguing that it saves businesses time and financial resources, improves efficiency by focusing on quantifiable skills, and limits implicit human biases. Bernice (Social Work), however, is completely against it, believing that AI hiring can be biased and lead to job losses, especially for marginalized groups. Ash (Law & Business) is undecided, pointing out both legal risks and benefits, while Monique (Social Work) tries to mediate the discussion, encouraging everyone to consider different perspectives. Dev (Biomedical Science/Doctor) stays calm but argues that AI can’t judge human skills properly, especially in fields like medicine, where experience and personality matter. As the conversation escalates, voices get louder, tensions rise, and misunderstandings deepen the conflict. Some believe AI is the future, while others feel it dehumanizes hiring. Instead of simply ending the conflict with a compromise, the group reflects deeply on their assumptions and challenges their biases. They begin to understand that AI isn’t just a tool for business efficiency or a threat to fairness but something that needs careful implementation with ethical considerations. By the end of the discussion, everyone has changed their perspective in some way. Instead of seeing AI in hiring as strictly "good" or "bad," they realize it is a complex issue that requires both innovation and human oversight. The debate doesn’t just end; it transforms how they think about AI, employment, and fairness moving forward.
