People have a dangerous habit of only taking warning signs seriously after a catastrophe, says Jen Easterly in The NY Times. EG, before the Challenger space shuttle explosion in 1986, Nasa contractors warned that cold weather could compromise the shuttle’s O-rings. In the weeks before 9/11, information poured into the CIA including a large number of “people of interest” at Arizona flight schools. The 9/11 commission called it a “failure of imagination”. And it’s happening today with AI.
