The Capacities for AI are basically unlimited. Why?

Once we moved over starting in the 2000s where computer programs started designing other programs (like what I'm writing on now so I don't have to do all the HTML programming myself since 2007). When computers started writing their own code it became unlimited what computers can do through AI. 

The main problem I see with all this is there is no possible oversight because people (individually) are not fast enough (in this lifetime) to troubleshoot everything written so it doesn't have negative consequences of one kind or another.

So, the kind of problem where hatches blow out of airplanes or for example, our 2022 Subaru even though it is gas powered is sort of like driving an Apple Computer in that if it is moist out it might not want to start up because the electronics might be affected by the moisture or rain. However, if you are in the middle of the desert and it's 125 degrees this sort of thing might become fatal. Or if you are in a blizzard and you need your all electric vehicle to work and it doesn't because moisture got into the wrong component then also you might be dead.

So, though AI might be wonderful in some situations it is definitely going to be fatal to people in many other situations. And I have predicted before that we have to expect just as many deaths from AI as we now lose in Traffic Accidents yearly just here in the U.S.

This will be much much worse in 3rd world nations where there often is no oversight at all regarding anything technical where thousands of people might die in a single AI screwup. I think we have to expect this level of problem regarding AI. To not think this is to be way too naive as human beings or at the very least uneducated in regard to what computers and AI really are.

All they really are is billions of switches that can be on or off and each switch on or off means different things. But, what if one switch is off when it should be on or vice versa?

Then people are going to die a few or by the thousands.
