"A man has been crushed to death by a robot in South Korea after it failed to differentiate him from the boxes of food it was handling, reports say."

This is an "AI is too dumb" danger, whereas the AI prophets of doom want us to focus on "AI is too smart" dangers.

Oh no do not use that. That was servo based, AI drones, which I think is the real "safety issue"

All robots are servo based.

And there is every reason to believe this is an ML classification issue since similar robots are in widespread use.

And someone lost their fingers in the garbage disposal. A robot packer is not AI any more than my toilet or a landslide.

This sort of prediction is by its nature speculative. The argument is not--or should not--be certain doom. But rather that the uncertainty on outcomes is so large that even extreme tails has nontrivial weight
