You should never ever rely on computers! Why? Simply because they have been made by humans who also tend to make a lot of mistakes.

How many times have you been trying to do some calculations, but every time you came up with a different number? Maybe it was that time you went out for sushi with a friend and decided to split the bill. Or maybe it was when you were trying to take stock of your expenses for the month. Well, it’s a good job we have computers to do the difficult calculations for us… isn’t it?

In this video, we discuss examples of how automation bias, that is, when we subconsciously trust machines more than ourselves can lead to serious calculation errors and even costs lives. We will talk about the most interesting and famous cases when computer miscalculation can cause a car accident because of people's unconditional trust in Tesla or even a tragedy like that which took place in Saudi Arabia after the Saddam Hussein missile attack in 1991.

It seems that sometimes our biggest mistake is not human error, but our blind trust in our computers to do the job better than us...
