> Are ML driven robots in factories killing people or Something? Because I haven’t heard of anything else.

All the videos on the YouTubes I’ve seen show industrial robots with crazy amounts of safety equipment where you can’t get close enough to it while it’s running for someone to get hurt.

I have seen people experimenting with robot arms next to their CNC machine where it could easily take off someone’s head if you piss it off but these are small shops where they expect the operator to keep on the robot’s good side, no inappropriate sexual comments and biology shaming.




They are using ML algorithms on CNC machines and it’s causing AI ethical concerns?

Building experimental robotics on a production floor with workers walking around sounds like a normal safety issue not an AI one.


I was watching one video where they had to train the arm what to do and am pretty sure they (the Silicon Valley robot arm startup) gave it AI magic sauce because even toasters have AI these days.
