The robot revolution began long ago, and so did the killing. One day in 1979, a robot at a Ford Motor Company casting plant malfunctioned—human workers determined that it was not going fast enough. And so twenty-five-year-old Robert Williams was asked to climb into a storage rack to help move things along. The one-ton robot continued to work silently, smashing into Williams’s head and instantly killing him.

In today’s digital age, trust has become a cornerstone of building a better Internet. Preserving privacy for a greater good The Internet was designed as a platform for peer research, not for the vast scale and diverse uses we see today.

These vulnerabilities, not borne out of malice, were the result of choices made with limited information available at the time.
