If you have a surgery you already accept less than perfect success rate. In fact you have no way to know how badly it can go. The surgeon or their assistants may have a bad day.
- apical_dendrite 1y agoTypically you accept the risk of surgical complications because the alternative is much worse. Given a scenario where you have an aggressive tumor that will most likely kill you in six months, and surgery presents a 90% chance of gaining you at least a few more years of life, but a 10% chance of serious complications or death, most people would take the surgery. But if it's a purely elective procedure, very few people would take that chance. If your business has an opportunity to save millions in labor costs by replacing humans with AI, but there's a 10% chance that the AI will screw up and destroy the business, will business owners accept that risk? It will be interesting to find out.
