Are we ready for an AI that can replace politicians? This is Project Debater', an AI that " listened to four minutes of its human opponent's opening remarks, then parsed that data and created an argument that highlighted and attempted to debunk information shared by the opposing side." The ways this could be misused are legion, but IBM intends it as a force for good: " the real power of Project Debater will be its ability to present unbiased arguments, according to IBM researchers." The real test, however, will be when opponents berate it and call it a special snowflake.
