The risk here is twofold. The first relates to speed: If decision times collapse and outcomes favor those who are willing to delegate to machines, those who accept delay by maintaining adherence to principles of human control may find themselves disadvantaged. Second, there is the reality that humans will, over time, come to trust machines with life-altering decisions. Self-driving cars represent one example of this phenomenon. At first, self-driving vehicles required a human at the wheel “for emergencies.” Later, automated vehicles with no steering wheel and no human driver were approved. While this may be, in part, because humans have proven to be poor at paying attention and reacting quickly in a crisis, experience and familiarity with machines may have also engendered complacency with automated vehicles, much as we have accepted technology in other areas of our lives. If this is correct, then humans may ultimately conclude that with decisional time shrinking, machines will make better decisions than the humans they serve, even when human lives are at stake.
