Re:  Have you used AI
There is that old joke:  the speaker at a software engineeting conference asked for a show of hands: which developer would be willing to ride in a plane whose automatic pilot they had programmed. Only one put their hand up: "I would be completely confident, because it wouldnt even make it to the runway!"

Which airline do these belong to? Please, let me know so that I will
never fly these anymore.

Call me conservative, but I firmly believe we shouldn't be
experimenting/automating/"optimizing" critical areas in which human
lives can be dependent on. Who is to take responsibility when
something bad happens: the machines, the AI, the ML ?

Supporting facts about too much "automation" that led to hundreds of
deaths that could be avoided:

1. The recent Boeing 737-Max crashes

2. The similar Air France crash (flight from Rio to Paris)  several
years ago (http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_eye/2015/06/25/air_france_flight_447_and_the_safety_paradox_of_airline_automation_on_99.html)


Maybe it isn't accidental that ADA is still considered (as maybe the
only)  safe language in use at the Department of Defense?


Cheers,
Dimitre (who takes full responsibility of his own work)
