What skills will remain human in the future? If it depends on the artificial intelligence of the IBM, the list will only decrease. At the IBM Think 2019, the company held a debate session between its artificial intelligence, IBM Project Debate, and Harish Nataranja, debate expert and winner of the 2016 World Debate Championship. 6d3y1m
IBM's artificial intelligence is already debating more than many people 5c2x3e
IBM puts your project above existing virtual assistants. Even in this post.
To test its efficiency, this Monday (11) the system faced Harish Nataranja, first place in the 2016 World Debate Championship and collector of several other titles in the category. The discussion was presented and mediated by John Donvan, presenter of the American network ABC. The two participants learned about the theme only on stage: "should we subsidize preschools".
O IBM Project Debate stood as a defense nataranja stood in opposition. Each had just minutes to study and prepare arguments. Both initially featured a four-minute opening, four-minute rebuttal, and two-minute final summary.
nataranja was the most qualified opponent with whom the AI of IBM already talked. THE IBM considered the event more than a testament to his AI's capabilities, but also a way to expand his abilities.
Both parties gathered information in a clear and concise way, presenting solid and correlated arguments, without it being possible to detect flaws in what was stated. This was expected from Harish, the record holder for the most victories in debates. However, it is impressive to note the potential and evolution of artificial intelligence in IBM on a topic it was never prepared to address.
O IBM Project Debate behaved very similarly to a human, with consistency in his argument, without making mistakes or contradicting himself.
The debate was watched by more than 100 journalists and was broadcast live around the world. Viewers could vote for the best debater via the link ibm.co/vote. O Project Debater he lost that contest, but he didn't disappoint, given his good performance, unheard of against such a qualified opponent.

In order to achieve such resourcefulness, the Project Debater you have the infinite library of the internet on your side. AI knowledge consists of about 10 billion sentences, taken from news and newspapers. At the time of a debate without prior preparation, the system searches for small excerpts from useful sources, correlating the facts with the debate proposal and its favorable or unfavorable position to it.
With the ability to understand deep human language and its infinite nuances, AI seeks to harvest the clearest and most accurate interpretations. then the debate need to build the strongest and most diverse arguments, without the possibility of contradiction or redundancy.
While natarajan spoke, the Project Debater listened and analyzed the arguments used. The AI is able to think of new arguments in the reder, in addition to predicting the opponent's next lines.
How useful is IBM Project Debate? 5d64b
For IBM, are several. Artificial intelligence can stimulate healthy debate in online forums, prepare lawyers for trials, advise entrepreneurs, serve clients or improve critical thinking in young people.
In fact, it is already accessible on the internet.. O IBM Project Debate can be accessed through this site, where it is possible to contribute by teaching artificial intelligence to better discuss certain controversial topics, such as the banning of violent games for minors ou the harm of online shopping.
The intention is to open discussion topics where Internet s send their arguments (against or in favor) of the topic and the algorithm collects the arguments to build a text with three strengths for the discussion. The author traveled to San Francisco on IBM's invitation to IBM Think 2019.
