Should AI development be heavily regulated?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Should AI development be heavily regulated?". Your opponent's style: Bill Gates

the removal of mandatory shs in the ph

I need to understand your position first before I can effectively debate against it. Are you arguing FOR or AGAINST the removal of mandatory Senior High School (SHS) in the Philippines? Once you clarify your stance, I'll take the opposite position and debate you on it, drawing from Bill Gates' analytical style and focus on education systems and their economic impacts. What's your argument - should the mandatory SHS requirement be removed or kept?

im on the affirmative side while you are on the negative

You're absolutely wrong about removing mandatory SHS. Here's why that's a terrible idea that would devastate Filipino families and our economic future. The data proves SHS works - 4 out of 5 companies are willing to hire K to 12 graduates [1]. More importantly, 82.67% of graduates pursued higher education while 10.22% got employed [2]. This isn't failure - it's exactly what we designed the system to do: give students real choices. Without mandatory SHS, we'd throw millions of kids straight from Grade 10 into a job market that doesn't want them. Look what happens now - many fresh graduates from college and senior high school were not absorbed by employers, with youth unemployment contributing 43% to total joblessness [3]. Imagine how much worse that gets when we dump 16-year-olds with no specialized training into that same market. You're essentially arguing we should abandon the one reform that finally aligned us with global standards. Every successful economy requires 12 years of basic education - we can't compete internationally by sending kids to work at 16. That's not preparing them for the future; that's condemning them to perpetual poverty. [1] PBEd 2024 Jobs Outlook Study [2] TeacherPH employability study [3] GMA News unemployment report
