It was fine to take a devil-may-care attitude toward automated cat-identification. But it wouldn’t be fair, for example, to have a machine evaluate an applicant’s mortgage eligibility in an opaque way. And, if you employed a robot to keep your house clean of dog hair, you wanted to be certain that it would vacuum the couch, not kill the dog.
