ROBOT IS MY CO-PILOT
Ever since it was discovered that last year’s Germanwings 9525’s tragedy was caused by a suicidal copilot, some have questioned: Do we still need to put our lives in the hands of human pilots? Hasn’t technology advanced to the point where they are an unnecessary hazard in the sky? Shouldn’t we be striving to make our cockpits human-free—and thus human-error-free?
Conversely, since the classic 1920 Czech play “R.U.R.” (“Rossom’s Universal Robots”) coined the term, “Robot”—and warned of their double-edged threat—man has also had a healthy skepticism of technology. From Clarke and Kubric’s homicidal HAL 9000 computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey to Star Trek’s Borg, we’ve thoroughly explored the theme of technology run amok. So, when we hear of projects which aim to man cockpits with robots in lieu of men and women, most of us share a collective hesitance.
But is that hesitance founded on fact, or pop fiction?
These two opposing viewpoints have collided, and we are now faced with a serious dilemma. Is supplanting the pilots with automation truly the safest answer?
