Should We Erase Bad Memories?: A Debate

Open to Debate

In the 2004 science-fiction film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, one character undergoes a medical procedure to erase bad memories of her ex-boyfriend. What if such a procedure really existed? Advances in neurotechnology open the possibilities of influencing the brain’s neural activity to modify or eliminate memories that are unpleasant or disturbing. Supporters of such a hypothetical procedure argue that it could help block traumatic and painful memories that lead to anxiety, depression, and stress. By eliminating such memories, they contend, a person could recover more easily from emotional shocks and problems and lead a happier, healthier life. Opponents of such a hypothetical procedure argue that it interferes with an individual's natural mental processes. Tampering with memories is not only unethical, they contend, but could also endanger one's identity and sense of self and undermine the authenticity of lived experiences. Should we erase bad memories?

Margin of Error: AI, Polling, and Elections

Sideways Film

After a century of traditional polling to predict public opinion, artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the landscape of polling for elections. This program examines how a startup called Advanced Symbolics (ASI) uses AI and public social-media data to forecast voter behavior. ASI's new algorithm — Polly — combs social media to build profiles of different demographics and then determines their preferences.This method has already led to Polly’s success in predicting both the 2016 Trump victory and Brexit. With the 2019 Canadian federal election campaign as a real time back drop, this video reveals how AI doesn’t just give a detailed picture of the publics voting intentions, but also illustrates how specific events can alter their views. But how does this promise of new technology affect citizens' privacy? Is AI polling accurate? The program also looks at how every one of us volunteers a huge amount of private data with virtually every Internet service we use, without reading or understanding the terms of service. This data can now be harvested by AI to accurately predict among many other things, how we will vote. What are the social implications of using AI for polling? Will knowing what our hopes and concerns are give politicians the intel they need to respond to our needs, and lead to a “utopian” society, as ASI’s CEO Erin Kelly claims, or can this data be misused to mislead us – either by our own governments, or those of our adversaries? The video addresses these difficult questions.

Does Economic Growth Cost Too Much?: A Debate

Open to Debate

High economic growth, often measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP)—the total amount of goods and services a nation produces—is a central goal of many countries. But an ever-increasing GDP may be neither sustainable nor desirable in the long run. Some scholars and policy makers propose alternative models like "green growth," requiring GDP to take into account its impact on the environment, or "degrowth," shrinking economies rather than expanding them by reducing consumption and production. Rather than using GDP to measure a nation's success, they suggest developing other metrics, such as Gross National Happiness or a Genuine Progress Indicator. Those who question whether GDP is the best way to measure growth and societal wellbeing argue that it disregards rising socioeconomic inequality and the pervasive poverty that exists even in wealthy nations. They further argue that GDP and economic expansion typically overlook numerous costs of unchecked growth, such as environmental degradation and climate change. Those who defend high economic growth argue that, as the key driver of prosperity, it lifts millions of people out of poverty, fuels innovation, and provides vital resources for public services and infrastructure development. Such growth, they further argue, also creates the wealth necessary to fund efforts to slow climate change and preserve the planet. Does economic growth cost too much? (Audio only.)

Is Elon Musk Killing Twitter?: A Debate

Open to Debate

In October 2022, businessman Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, bought the influential social media company Twitter for $44 billion. Within weeks, he fired half the company's workforce, relaxed the platform's policies against hate speech and the spread of disinformation, and restored the account of former president Donald Trump (R, 2017–21), whom Twitter had banned for encouraging violence. Many applauded Musk's actions, arguing that they advanced free speech and open dialog, but others questioned them, arguing that they encouraged extremism and undermined the company's legitimacy. Is Elon Musk killing Twitter?

Will ChatGPT Do More Harm Than Good?: A Debate

Open to Debate

When OpenAI, a company founded by Microsoft pioneer Bill Gates, unveiled ChatGPT in November 2022, it marked the biggest advance in artificial intelligence (AI) in years. The revolutionary new tool can take questions from users and produce human-like responses. ChatGPT and similar chatbots developed soon after can produce coherent essays, compose music, answer test questions—and perhaps even think. "Until now, artificial intelligence could read and write, but could not understand the content," Gates said. "This will change the world." But will it change it for the better? Supporters argue that ChatGPT will help individuals and organizations review massive amounts of information, draft top-quality reports, and perform many valuable functions, such as writing and developing computer programs. It will free humans to do more high-level tasks, they contend, and create new jobs in the process. But critics caution that ChatGPT poses a serious danger to people's privacy and threatens to undermine many basic norms of society. It could eliminate jobs, they contend, spur the spread of disinformation, and ultimately reduce humans' capacity for reason and writing. Will ChatGPT do more harm than good?

Should the U.S. Ban TikTok?: A Debate

Open to Debate

With 1 billion active users across more than 150 countries, TikTok is one of the most popular video apps in the world. Nearly one in three Americans have an account, and since 2021 it has been downloaded more than any other app. But unlike competing social media platforms, TikTok is owned by ByteDance, a Chinese company. Some worry that data from users in the United States could be transmitted to China's government, despite assurances from ByteDance that this does not happen. These concerns, however, spurred President Joe Biden (D) to ban TikTok from U.S. government phones in December 2022. More than half of states across the country have taken similar action. But with rising tensions between the United States and China—and mounting questions of Chinese surveillance—some are calling for lawmakers to go further and ban TikTok completely. Supporters of such a move argue it would protect Americans' privacy and U.S. national security and prevent the Chinese government from gaining access to critical data. Opponents dismiss these fears as overblown, arguing that such a ban would outlaw a popular and important tool in the video marketplace, and that users would easily find ways to access the platform. Should the U.S. ban TikTok?

The Science of Fatherhood

Java Films

What happens to men when they become fathers? How do men change psychologically and physically during pregnancy, birth, and the first years of having children? In this film we go on a journey of discovery and ask brain researchers, geneticists, sociologists, and psychologists. And we accompany three men during their adventure of becoming a father. Human fathers are special: they belong to the rare 5% of all male mammals that take care of their offspring. Nature has specially equipped them for this, because they go through crucial changes when their children are born. Researchers have now begun to study the effects of fatherhood on both fathers themselves and their children. Similar to mothers, fathers are physiologically and hormonally altered by pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare. For example, an expectant father’s levels of the “love hormone” oxytocin increase significantly, as this is nature’s way of helping him to develop positive feelings for his child. In addition, at birth his testosterone levels drop dramatically, which increases his sensitivity. We visit scientists around the world in their research facilities and laboratories and show the amazing results of their studies. We also follow three fathers in Germany, France and Sweden from pregnancy to infancy. In this way, we weave exciting science and personal stories into a fascinating film about the phenomenon of becoming a father and being a father.

Ocean (Shapers of Tomorrow)

The oceans represent more than two thirds of the globe’s surface and almost half of them are more than 3,000 meters deep. They play a key role in the regulation of our climate, contribute to oxygen levels and are home to the vast majority of life on Earth. They are also a crucial part of the global economy; fishing, tourist activities and even sea transport provide a substantial source of income, but often with dramatic ecological consequences. But what if there were other ways of using the oceans and their treasures that were more respectful of the environment?
