Excerpt:
“Such issues will only get worse as artificial intelligence (AI) gets integrated into systems. AI will centralize control further, automate complex tasks, and strip power and autonomy from users at the endpoint. Imagine a hospital where AI manages patient data, schedules, and even treatment plans. If such a system fails, frontline healthcare workers might find themselves unable to access crucial information or perform essential tasks, leading to potentially life-threatening delays. As AI becomes more integrated into our systems, the potential for large-scale disruptions increases. Our reliance on silicon-based systems will only deepen, making it imperative to address these vulnerabilities now.”
