At the first part of DataLab 1 you will participate in the debate: It is always possible to ensure ethical decision-making in an AI era. During the second part of the day, you will have a chance to work on the creative brief. At the end of the day, from 16:00 to 17:00, we will have a moment to reflect on DataLab 1 and ask questions during the Q&A.

During the DataLab you will be divided into the groups to prepare for the debate. Together with your groupmates you will develop for and against arguments and plan how to deliver your arguments for the topic of the debate. The groups for the debate will be selected randomly and will present their prepared for and against arguments: one group will present their "for" arguments and another their "against" arguments. The rest of the students at the end will vote to choose who is the winner of the debate.
