And i dont care what due diligence defense argument is made.....no jury of humans is gona buy it. And plantiffs counsel will have the infinite probability of human behavior as counter to any AI rationale.
Unless maybe by that time the jury is a bunch of AI droids.
Every hull loss ends up in litigation now anyway. It's just an insurance/accounting/risk tolerance issue.
Sure a couple airplanes will crash due to some sort of automation failure, but I have a feeling the total accident rate will be lower making those losses acceptable. Also, the cost savings might even cover the insurance/litigation expenses!
I don't think this will happen quickly though due to regulatory hurdles and the initial outlay of capital it would take. So we're safe for now!
Droid Jury sounds terrifying though!!
