# AI Debate: argue against an AI that listens AI Debate is a concept activation, built per occasion: a player gets 45 seconds to argue a side of a motion and an AI opponent answers with rebuttals built from what the player actually said. An AI judge and an audience vote together decide who wears the debate crown. ConceptConcept, built for your event. We scope it, rehearse it with your team and agree a fallback. [Book a demo](https://sociana.in/contact/) ## The idea The AI is the opponent that listens. Because the rebuttal quotes the player's own argument, the audience hears a real exchange, which is why it suits a stage or a leadership offsite more than a kiosk. ## How it runs on event day Attendee Draws a motion, argues it for 45 seconds, hears the AI reply and votes with the crowd by QR. Operator Sets motions that suit the brand, caps the AI reply length, controls the audience vote and can cut the AI mid-sentence. LED or venue screen The motion, a countdown, live captions of both sides and the vote tally. ## Inputs and outputs ### Inputs - Motion list from the organiser - The player's 45-second voice argument - Audience QR votes ### Outputs - AI rebuttal in text and voice - AI judge scorecard and the audience vote - A winner and points ## Moderation and fallback **Human approval.** The organiser vets every motion, the AI is told to attack arguments and never people, and captions are shown so the operator can cut any line that drifts. A human host can replace the AI judge. ### If something fails - A named operator can pause, skip or replay any round from the admin panel - If the AI reply is delayed, the host fills with a prepared line and the vote proceeds - If voice fails, players type their argument ## Privacy and consent The microphone opens only after a consent tap. Speech is transcribed for the round; the recording is not kept unless the organiser configures it and the notice says so. A typed-answer mode is the alternative for anyone who prefers not to speak. Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 the organiser decides the purpose and the retention period, and Sociana configures the consent notice, the withdrawal route and deletion on request. Collect only what a round needs. Details sit on the data protection and AI pages in the trust centre; nothing here is a legal opinion.

Per-completion model costs are quoted on actuals at proposal; no per-completion rate is published. - Rounds per day times players per round, since every completion triggers one or more model calls - Model mix for the round: speech-to-text, a language model for rebuttals and a judging pass - A longer reply and a spoken voice add cost per round - Peak concurrency, which sets queueing and the number of kiosks or tablets - Retention of outputs: replays, galleries and downloads add storage and moderation time - Rehearsal and operator time on site; kiosks, tablets, cameras and LED walls come from the venue or a hardware partner, not from Sociana ## Related event [Case study**Growth Code**Growth Code: Talk To Your Future Self avatar with retake, retry and a disclaimer at login for avatars on event screens.](https://sociana.in/case-studies/growth-code/) ## Plugs into these modules - [Live polls & voting](https://sociana.in/features/live-polls-and-voting/) - [Unified leaderboard & team boards](https://sociana.in/features/unified-leaderboard/) ## Other AI activations - [AI NegotiationAI as opponent](https://sociana.in/ai-activations/ai-negotiation/) - [AI Pitch JudgeAI as judge](https://sociana.in/ai-activations/ai-pitch-judge/) ## Questions people ask Can the AI say something offensive? The organiser picks the motions, the AI is instructed to challenge arguments and not people, and the live captions let an operator cut any line. A human host can also replace the AI judge. Who decides who wins the debate? An AI judge score and an audience QR vote decide together, with the weight set by the organiser. A human can override before the result posts. How much rehearsal does it need? More than a quiz. Plan a rehearsal on the actual stage mic, with the motions and a fallback line for the host, because voice and timing are what make the format work. ## Want this on your screens?
