Organize the students into groups and ask them to discuss and prepare to debate the two statements below. Assign some groups to argue for the statement and some to argue against it.
• Developing quantum computing will take a lot of time and money and not deliver any useful benefits for humanity.
• AI and machine learning are just part of the ongoing development of computing and they don’t represent a radical change from the past.
Give students a time limit to prepare and then have each group produce their arguments. Depending on the group, you may want to give groups an opportunity to rebut the arguments of the other group.
