Ball hits the cable, drops dead, and England scores a goal that should have been disallowed.
But the chip in the ball registered no impact, probably because the ball flew above the sensor range. Worse, the referees didn’t even bother to look or assess the situation.
We delegated judgment and common sense to technology. But when there is a single silent failure in the tech, no one is able to make their own calls.
It's the same trap we're walking into with AI-assisted everything. Think about it.
