Others contend that the rapid adoption of AI threatens to erode the foundation of human society, including trust, critical thinking, and authentic relationships, potentially deskilling humanity to a point of no return.Join this live debate on Sunday, March 1 as leading experts debate whether AI will enhance or diminish the human experience.For more information: https://ok.ubc.ca/ubc-okanagan-debates/Admission is free, pre-registration is required.
