Yes, but that is not specific to machine learning. Humans have also learned to drive under the assumption that future observations will somewhat be alike what they have seen in the past. And yes, that is putting peoples' lives in danger.
But that has nothing to do with machine learning. It has to do with all control systems, human or machine.

- YeGoblynQueenne 9y agoThe point is that machine learning algorithms' decisions always have some amount of error, and that this error goes way up in the real world. The auto-car industry's marketing claims that self-driven vehicles are safer than humans just because computers have faster "reaction times" (they probably mean faster retrieval from memory). But if your reaction is completely wrong it doesn't matter how fast you react. Reacting very fast with very high error will just cause a very fast accident- and make it harder for puny humans' reflexes to avoid it, to boot.
