“This distinction grated at me for some time, because as far as I was concerned it didn’t really matter if you were dealing with two identical systems - identical decisions, identical opacity, identical absence of accountability - whether one is AI and the other not.

“But even for humans, sensor problems are difficult. While we’ll eventually figure out what’s going on, we’ll still struggle in the face of conflicting signals, as anyone who has responded to an incident can tell you.
