There will be a period of innovation backed by audit, analysis and redesign. Most systems have errors but the benefits are perceived to be greater than the errors, risks and disadvantages. There is a question of who takes responsibility for the use, design and maintenance of systems.
Automobiles are a good example of risk/ benefit application. 1.19 million people die a year in car crashes and over 50 million are damaged or disabled, yet citizens, the public, corporations and governments still support and promote their use.
