Databases, networking protocols and so forth are hardened, relatively speaking (less the occasional heart bleed or PoW-blockchain fork). If you have autonomous systems built on top of hardened infrastructure but behaving according to ML models, the impact of their wrong doings is exponentially higher. It&#x27;s about top-level autonomy through ML models really: from flash crashes to (future) autopilots.
The same effect of severity vs. position in the control hierarchy goes for human organizations. A cashier can defraud for a couple of hundred $, the C-suite at Goldman Sachs &#x2F; Enron for a multitude. The invention of the corporation, as much risk as it entails, was a milestone in human progress though. So yeah, let the predicting but in its entirety not quite predictable models run the world. It&#x27;s worth it.
