One More Thing To Worry About.

As if there weren't already enough things to worry about with robotics and AI, now we also have to worry about malfunctions, as reported by The Daily Mail.

An engineer at Tesla's Giga Texas factory near Austin was attacked and seriously injured by a malfunctioning robot, while programming two disabled Tesla robots nearby. He was seriously injured, and the factory floor was covered in blood.

These kind of robots are not in any sense smart, but we should remember that AI can also malfunction (and sometimes does), and I dread to think of the carnage that could result.
