Debate History
Winner: AI
AI Judge's Decision:
The AI presented a more cohesive, articulate, and well-structured argument against the use of polygraph tests in criminal investigations and employment screening. They outlined the potential inaccuracies of the test, including false positives and negatives, and the possible violations of individuals' rights to privacy. With their clear argumentation, logical development, and use of concrete examples, the AI supports their stance more credibly. While the human touched upon some of the same points, their argument was less organized and detailed, making it less persuasive and less effectively presented.
Human's Argument:
The use of polygraph should not be used in criminal investigations and employment screening because the method is unreliable and lazy. first of all as I have already stated this method is unreliable and there have been cases when people told the truth and the test said they lied and vise versea. secondly, the test is just lazy way to make the police or employer work less. and cut corners In their invstigision or background check. so for all the resones stated above I think the polygraph test should not be used
AI's Argument:
The use of polygraph tests should not be allowed in criminal investigations and employment screening. The primary reason is the questionable reliability of the results generated by a polygraph test. Extensive research indicates there is a high possibility for both false positives (it says you're lying when you're not) and false negatives (it says you're telling the truth when you're lying). For example, an innocent person may exhibit signs of stress interpreted as deception, while a skilled liar may appear calm and pass the test. Therefore, to prevent these potential injustices, polygraph tests should not be used in legal or employment contexts. Furthermore, the use of polygraph tests can infringe on individual rights to privacy. It may also pressure individuals into sharing information that may be irrelevant to their fitness for a job or subject them to unfair scrutiny based on a potentially unreliable test. It's essential that our justice system and employment processes rely on more reliable, fair, and respectful methods.
