Defusing The Perils Of Enterprise AI

In the months following the failed Apollo 13 mission, investigators discovered that a seemingly benign event two years earlier was the root cause of this near national disaster. Engineers handling one of two oxygen tanks built for the service module accidentally let one slip and fall. I once dropped my iPhone from my seat at a hockey game and watched helplessly as it fell 15 feet toward the cement floor. Miraculously, it landed at just the right angle and survived. In a fateful moment years before launch, at the North American Aviation plant in Downey, California, a simple slip of just two inches created enough structural damage to set in motion a series of failures that nearly killed three astronauts.
