." WE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCEN'T lifeless yet," Frank Fahrenkopf asserted last month on "The Daily Show", an American TV programme. Jon Stewart, the host, appeared sceptical. Mr Fahrenkopf leads the Earnings on Presidential Arguments (CPD), a non-partisan body system whose only objective is actually to plan matches every four years. This year his group will certainly neglect them. In May, after signalling that he could not take part at all, Joe Biden tested Donald Trump to debate him-- on Mr Biden's terms. Mr Trump agreed. The presidential candidates will face off twice. Extraordinarily, information networks, rather than the CPD, will throw the meets. They will certainly occur months earlier than they generally will. The very first is booked for June 27th. Exactly how will these brand new arrangements modify presidential debates?
