Students of first year MMS and PGDM General participated enthusiastically in which new ideas have come up. Two groups have been formed among students and they will be told to jot down 5 points. Team A arguing in favor that AI can replace human beings. Team A presented the following 5 points: Reliable on AI, AI can work 24/7 without the need for the rest, automation and efficiency of tasks, AI excels in multitasking and AI reduces human error. Team B argued that AI can assist humans in many areas but it cannot replace unique human qualities that are necessary for certain tasks. They have presented the following 5 points: Lack of creativity and innovation, lack of emotional intelligence and empathy, dependency on human input, Job displacement and social impact, and cannot nurture a new life through AI. Outcome of the debate, team A was able to show convincingly the potential of AI in automating tasks and performing specialized functions that could replace human workers in certain fields. Team B successfully countered by highlighting the irreplaceable aspects of human being such as creativity, empathy and ethical decision-making. The debate concluded with the understanding that AI can replace humans in some jobs or tasks but it cannot replace full range of human abilities. AI is having potential to automate tasks and perform specialized functions but it lacks creativity, emotional depth and ethical reasoning that defines human intelligence.
