The preliminary round of this debate was held on April 20, and the semi-finals and finals were held today. In the semi-finals, the w88 casino of International Relations faced off against Peking University, and the China University of Political Science and Law faced off against the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. There was a fierce debate around the topic "whether artificial intelligence should be applied on a large scale to predict crime."

At the beginning of the final, both sides made their opening arguments. The first defense of China University of Political Science and Law closely followed the topic of the debate, and elaborated on the two aspects of "artificial intelligence alleviates the shortage of police forces and better allocates police resources" and "artificial intelligence conforms to the trend of prior prevention in the field of crime investigation". Artificial intelligence predicts crime. It uses technology to transform the real world into the ideal society that we yearn for, and its development should be actively promoted. The opposing side of the w88 casino of International Relations' first debate approached the topic from the perspective of "data bias in algorithm operation" and "concerns of law enforcement and security", proposing that artificial intelligence technology should be used as an auxiliary tool to return the fight against crime to a people-oriented approach and to focus on social issues and fairness and justice, rather than large-scale application of artificial intelligence in social security. The four affirmative debates aim at the negative arguments and use people's objective rationality and the "prediction" of the debate topic itself to conduct favorable questions and safeguard the affirmative point of view. In response to what the first defense said, the four counter-participants had a fierce debate on the lag in the use of AI and the ex-ante nature of crime prevention during the questioning session to advance their own views.

In the speech session of the second debate, both sides organized the battlefield, seized the opportunity, directly attacked each other's loopholes, made further strong arguments for their respective positions, affirmed their own views, refuted the other's views, and alternately spoke during the debate session to clarify their positions. They remained calm in the face of danger during the back and forth attack and defense, were flexible, responded step by step, and performed brilliantly. In the ensuing cross-examination session, the affirmative's third defense was the first to attack, using "criminals in many cases of telecommunications fraud go unpunished" and "automatic analysis of Tianjin data resource database to prevent fraud and recover losses", which effectively attacked the opponent's argument about the lag of artificial intelligence, demonstrating vigor and style between offense and defense. The opposition's three arguments were also not to be outdone. They used surging emotions and meticulous analysis to refute the shortcomings of the other party's prevention in advance by saying that "data models naturally have unnecessary labels" and won rounds of applause. The competition entered the free debate period, and the two sides fought hand-to-hand and had an intense and fierce confrontation. The debaters from both sides alternately spoke, gave examples, and responded to each other's questions effectively.

In the final closing session, the two sides once again sorted out their arguments, reviewed the important points of confrontation and sublimated their own views. The fourth defense of the negative side is based on algorithms and data. Regarding the bias of algorithms on race, social class, data collection, and feature selection, it is pointed out that "using AI to predict crimes itself is imposing bias on others. What is really needed is to fundamentally solve the crime problem based on facts and the law."; The fourth defense of the positive side is based on algorithms and data. Starting from the welfare of human beings, Xiaozhi uses emotion and reason, and makes an appeal: "In the past, we could not predict the harm, and could only shout for justice but hold cold criminal laws. But now, we have an opportunity like AI, so why not push open the door of technology and find a warmer path for mankind." After the two sides debated and sublimated their arguments, the atmosphere in the venue was once high and applause continued.

After deliberation by the judges, the w88 casino of Civil and Commercial Economics of China University of Political Science and Law won the championship, and the debate team of the w88 casino of International Relations won the runner-up.
