I took part in a debate at the university, 'AI in academia: embrace or resist?'

Before the debate, a poll was taken, showing that most of attendees were on the "embrace" side; after the debate, most were "resist". I had not expected we could sway the opinion, it made me very happy.

Here are the actual polls.

"Artificial Intelligence in academia: embrace or resist?"

pre-debate poll: 88 responses
post-debate poll: 90 responses
(out of an audience of 120)

So percentages are
Embrace: 51% -> 35%
Resist: 31% -> 52%
Undecided: 18% -> 13%

2 media
A screen showing a bar graph:
embrace 45
resist 27
undecided 16

@wim_v12e Well done because even the framing of the debate seems biased to me

@rpf I don't think there is, I didn't see any obvious cameras and they only told us they would take pictures. It's a pity, I would definitely have shared it.
