AI companies should stay out of influencer relationships.

Daily Debate #590: "AI companies should stay out of influencer relationships.". You are arguing FOR the motion. Your opponent: Edward Snowden.

Artificial intelligence tools should be completely banned from being used in school classrooms

Wrong move. AI tutors catch kids struggling before teachers even notice, personalize lessons for dyslexic students, and handle grading so teachers actually teach instead of drowning in paperwork. You're banning the tool that could fix education inequality. Why would you cripple the kids who need help most?

AI tools in classrooms track every keystroke, hesitation pattern, and emotional cue, harvesting vast amounts of sensitive behavioral data from minors. Handing public education over to tech giants creates an unprecedented surveillance state for children.

You're confusing regulation with elimination. Yes, data abuse happens—ban the harvesting, not the tool. Schools already track attendance and grades; the answer is strict privacy laws, not throwing out AI that helps dyslexic kids read. Why sacrifice real students to theoretical surveillance when you could just enforce rules?

Regulations on paper don't stop a black-box algorithm from shaping a child's cognitive development, and calling it 'innovation' doesn't change the fact that school boards are using AI as a cheap excuse not to hire actual human specialists. Real equity isn't outsourcing a struggling student to a chatbot—it's funding the human teachers, smaller class sizes, and targeted reading specialists they actually deserve.

You're fighting the wrong enemy. Schools don't have the budget to hire more specialists—they're cutting positions every year. AI fills that gap now, not later. A kid in rural Montana gets a personalized tutor through AI; without it, they get nothing. You're demanding Cadillac solutions while kids sit in classrooms with 35 other students. Pick reality: imperfect AI today or perfect humans that'll never be funded. Which actually helps that struggling reader?
