Person vs. Ai: Dinner Debate

Description

A group of classmates (in-school and working full time while taking a course) are out for dinner. A conversation sparks when one classmate raves about AI being supportive of their work, followed by another classmate who is very against it. This sparks conflict between the classmates where 3 are for and 3 are against Ai. After some escalation that included Ai is out to eliminate humans and that it is very inaccurate from the group that is against it, to Ai saving hours of time completing computer tasks (such as excel formulas) and providing tasty cooking recipes, the group de-escalated and came to a conclusion. AI has many impacts on our lives, both personally and professionally. The dinner party fictional scenario will be based on everything that AI impacts in our lives. We will end the conversation of it being a "continuum" as in AI is both helpful and worrisome. We can use it as a collaboration tool rather than a replacement tool. Deescalation will stem from conflict transformation as it uses conflict as an opportunity for learning, understanding, and connection. This can take the shape of active listening in a dialogue as it will allow for learning of other perspectives and quality listening.
