Students take a clear position on whether autonomous weapons systems should be banned, permitted under strict regulation, or encouraged. They then defend that position in a live structured debate with a Socratic Rebuttal Agent that challenges their ethical reasoning, probes edge cases, and tests for internal consistency. There is no written submission. The debate transcript serves as the sole assessment artifact.
This use case demonstrates a fully oral, agent-led assessment format. It is designed for introductory philosophy or applied ethics courses.
