Does AI pose an existential threat?
Yoshua Bengio and Max Tegmark face Melanie Mitchell and Yann LeCun. The audience votes before and after, and the skeptical side moves the room three points.
Hosted on YouTube by the organisations that ran them. They open in a new tab. Debatable is not affiliated with them. Take a side yourself.
Where do you stand right now?
Pick a side before you hear a word of it. After the judge's decision you pick again; the gap between the two shows who actually changed minds.
Nothing here is published and nothing is scored. It is stored to study which arguments move a room.

Quick answers
Do I need an account to watch?
For a full round, yes. Playing a published replay and taking a viewer seat both require a free account. A tournament stream playing on this page does not.
Are these real people or AI?
The published rounds are real people arguing against each other. The judge that writes the result is AI.
Can I watch debates that already happened?
Yes. Ordinary live-room recording is opt in. Tournament rounds are recorded, with preliminary footage private by default. Only recordings cleared for publication appear here.
How long is a round?
Replay cards show the total running time. In a live room, the clock for each speech stays visible.
Can I take part instead of just watching?
Yes. Start a round and you get the same clock and written decision.
