    They will not put AI on flight critical pieces for planes. It’s impossible to fully test and verify the software will behave in a predictable fashion. Instead the ai is used in a layer outside the critical path and it’s decisions are vetted by flight critical pieces.

    Destroying the rocket was done after flight critical software calculated the probability of failure as too high.
