Share the transcript because the tool made it — or ask the room first?

The Useful Record

An automatic transcript helps absent teammates catch up. If the meeting was ordinary work, keeping the record locked away makes the tool less useful than it needs to be.

The Room Boundary

A transcript captures rough ideas and people who did not agree to a wider audience. Ask the room first, then share the version everyone can stand behind.

Pick once. Your call records immediately; the crowd stays hidden until then.

Tech debate topics

Tech debates and technology debate topics about rules, risk, and choice.

Looking for tech debates? These questions make the tradeoff concrete: who carries the risk, who gets a choice, and what evidence would change your mind. Then let a human jury judge the live version.

What makes a tech debate worth judging?

These are decision prompts for people who have to live with the consequences of technology. Each one names the benefit and the cost, so a voter can disagree for a reason rather than reacting to a buzzword.

Should AI customer support always disclose that it is AI?

For: disclosure protects trust and gives people a fair chance to ask for a human.

Against: a capable system may resolve simple problems faster, and a label can create distrust before performance is judged.

Switch test: would your rule change if the AI solved the issue faster but could not handle an appeal?

Should social platforms optimize for wellbeing instead of engagement?

For: the product should not quietly reward outrage, compulsion, or the most polarizing version of a story.

Against: wellbeing is hard to measure and gives a platform too much power to decide what users should see.

Switch test: what transparent metric would you accept as evidence of healthier use?

Should personal data be stored on-device by default?

For: local processing reduces the number of companies that can copy, sell, or lose sensitive information.

Against: cloud processing can make services cheaper, more accessible, and more useful across devices.

Switch test: would you trade some convenience for a verifiable deletion guarantee?

Should employers be allowed to use AI scores in hiring?

For: structured tools can reduce inconsistent human screening and widen the first pass.

Against: a score can hide a proxy for past discrimination and make an unappealable decision look objective.

Switch test: is an independent audit enough, or must every applicant get a human review?

Should creators label synthetic or heavily edited media?

For: viewers deserve to know when a face, voice, or event has been materially constructed.

Against: “synthetic” covers harmless art as well as deception, and a label can become a stigma.

Switch test: should the rule depend on whether the edit changes a factual claim?

Should online services require real-name verification?

For: identity checks may raise the cost of impersonation, scams, and repeat harassment.

Against: pseudonyms protect whistleblowers, vulnerable users, and people who cannot safely connect a view to a legal name.

Switch test: can a service enforce conduct rules without collecting everyone’s identity?

Should platforms pay users whose posts train AI systems?

For: valuable human work should not become free raw material simply because it was posted online.

Against: tracing contribution and splitting value could make open publishing slower and more expensive.

Switch test: would a public opt-out registry be a fair minimum?

Should autonomous systems be judged by outcomes or by the rules they follow?

For: a system that reduces harm in practice may be better than a rigid rule that ignores context.

Against: outcome-only scoring can excuse decisions people cannot inspect, contest, or understand.

Switch test: what explanation or appeal would make an outcome-based system acceptable?

Turn a tech argument into a human verdict.

01 / FRAME

Name both sides

A usable case states the choice without hiding the cost of either answer.

02 / JUDGE

Let people vote

Real people judge the two positions and explain the reason behind their call.

03 / LEARN

Use the switch test

The strongest signal is not loud agreement; it is knowing what evidence could change a mind.

Have the version of this debate nobody has settled?

Put the concrete choice in front of a human jury. UR WRONG is built for two sides, real people, and one accountable verdict.
