As I mentioned in my previous post, there are new debate topics out that support students debating about AI and AI-related issues. I also had a chance to work with some elementary students, and we spent some time debating about whether they wanted to be cyborgs!
Over the past few days, I worked with Claude to produce some instructional resources that are available to our paid subscribers.
Resolved: Technological progress has surpassed humanity’s ability to use it ethically.
“It is in fact likely that advanced AI will drive a hundred years’ worth of technological development in less than a decade.” — William MacAskill & Fin Moorhouse, Preparing for the Intelligence Explosion (2025)
“The next six months may equal the last two years of progress.” — Sam Altman, Singularity University Summit (July 2026)
“AI systems will very quickly develop two subgoals, if they’re smart: one is to stay alive … and the other subgoal is to get more control.” — Geoffrey Hinton, Ai4 conference (August 2025)
For this topic, there is a complete guide.
There are also 67 slides that teachers can edit/modify as they wish.
Resolved: The United States federal government should enact a moratorium on hyperscale data center construction.
