The Logic Glitch

The crash of Air France Flight 447 is a chilling reminder of automation bias. When the autopilot disconnected, the highly trained crew became disoriented. They failed to recognize the plane was in a stall, despite 75 warnings, leading to a catastrophic outcome. This incident highlights a critical vulnerability in our relationship with technology. It shows how even experts can lose fundamental skills when they become monitors instead of operators, forcing us to question what we're losing by letting machines think for us.
