Technological giant creates AI capable of debating with humans

In a demonstration that we have more and more reason to fear Artificial Intelligence (AI) of the future, IBM has built an AI that is able to discuss human subjects and argue appropriately.
The AI in question, developed within the framework of the Project Debater, 'swayed' with two humans experienced in competition in two separate debates. Although it lost one of the debates (it was the assistance that chose the winner), it was verified that the AI in question was able to listen and understand the adversary and try to launch an argument that could fight.
"We are not too obsessed with victories and defeats. We are more interested in seeing AI dealing with human ambiguity, reality and context. We want to see if you can write well, be persuasive and present good evidence, "said IBM Research vice president Darius Gil.
