Resolution Advanced AI will on net improve outcomes for workers
a two-year review of 30 employers records 300 retained workers receiving 4% higher inflation-adjusted pay and working 37 rather than 40 hours per week after AI adoption.
The affirmative argues that productive tools can improve pay and time for many workers. The negative argues that concentrated losses and barriers to new work can outweigh those gains.
Weighing is how you tell the audience which consequences should decide the debate. Look at how big each one is, how likely, how soon, how long it lasts and who it falls on. Use the measures that actually separate the two sides.
Numbers help when the units and assumptions are sound. They mislead when you treat different outcomes as equal or invent a precise-looking probability. Explain the judgment the numbers cannot make on their own.
Scale favors the affirmative, but it still has to answer the severity of individual losses.
Severity favors the negative, but it still has to face how large and lasting the gains are.
The review records these outcomes, but does not isolate every cause or forecast the whole economy. Both sides need a reason for extending their pattern.
Keep the group, the measure and the time period attached.
Explain how size, severity, timing or likelihood favors you.
Answer the best reason to weigh it their way.
Develop a negative impact comparison using two dimensions. Answer the affirmative’s strongest scale argument and state a condition that would weaken your case.

The gains reach 300 retained workers and recur in their weekly time and pay. That breadth and repetition support an overall benefit.
Scale favors the affirmative, but it still has to answer the severity of individual losses.
Eighteen remain unemployed and 24 earn less elsewhere. Loss of work or income can carry more weight per person than a smaller gain to someone securely employed.
Severity favors the negative, but it still has to face how large and lasting the gains are.

The affirmative argues that productive tools can improve pay and time for many workers. The negative argues that concentrated losses and barriers to new work can outweigh those gains.
You can return to the practice whenever you want.
The affirmative has scale: 300 retained workers gained pay and time. We prioritize severity and duration because 18 displaced workers lacked employment at six months and 24 took lower pay. Those losses can threaten a whole income, so treating every affected person as an equal unit understates them. Our comparison weakens if later evidence shows rapid transitions to comparable work; it strengthens if the losses persist. We also need a reason to expect this pattern beyond the review.
These explain the negative’s preferred weight.
The response explains why scale alone may not decide the comparison.
Later evidence could reduce the duration and severity of loss.
The response makes a reasoned negative comparison, answers the rival dimension and names the evidence that would change its weight. It does not use a formula to hide unlike outcomes.
Choose one move to improve, revise your response, then try it aloud.
