Your mentality is exactly how AI is going to get people killed.

"Going to"???
AI has already killed humans.
The exact number is unknown because we are not tracking that data.
Mostly because the autonomous deaths are occurring as a result of military actions.
Despite international treaties such as the Geneva Conventions requiring accountability in war, no formal legal framework exists to assign liability when AI miscalculates.
As of yet no government agency, international watchdog, or industry group maintains a public database of AI-attributable deaths.
Yet they are occurring.
One example:
A 2021 United Nations Security Council report on Libya referenced a Turkish-made Kargu-2 drone that allegedly attacked retreating soldiers autonomously. Though the Libyan government did not confirm casualties, human rights observers warned the incident marked a pivotal shift in combat ethics.
A machine had decided, unilaterally, to kill.
And that was in 2021.
There are other deaths being caused by the algorithms.
Here are more categories of undocumented AI related deaths:
MEDICAL ERRORS AMPLIFIED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
CIVILIAN DEATHS THROUGH SYSTEM MISCLASSIFICATION
FALSE POSITIVES IN FACIAL RECOGNITION
SUICIDE AND ALGORITHMIC CONTENT CURATION
As the global AI race accelerates, the question is not whether artificial intelligence will kill again. It is how many times it already has, without anyone counting.
