Killer Robot Assignment’s 1 & 2

Article 1:

From reading the first article of the story the average person would not fully understand or get a fully detail on what happened and how the malfunctioned is indeed the coders fault. Thinks malfunction every day because no code/computer is prefect but in this case somebody died therefore somebody as to be accountable for it. There should be a charge but it has to be less than manslaughter since nothing was intentional, just a case of bad supervising and neglecting a possible harmful situation. Randy Samuels could have prevented the disaster but so could a supervisor as well. It’s always best that to let somebody else check out the code written to find errors/bugs the original programmer didn’t see. What I would have done different would be to have a supervisor or another programmer check out the code especially if it’s being programmed for a robot that’s big enough to be able to harm a human due to any type of malfunction. We also have to come to a conclusion that charging programmers for errors in codes that lead to unintentional deaths could either lead to less people wanting to code or more thoughtful coding.

Article 2:

The top managers rushing the production of the robot should be one of the main issues in this case, they neglected that their problem wasn’t that they needed more programmers to finish on time but that time itself was what they needed to minimize any errors. When it comes to producing a robot that to possible be harmful to others you need a functional team that all on all the same page and can move through the whole code together making sure every part is safe and secure. Being that Johnson is upper manager over Reynolds, he has the rights to tell Reynolds what to do, but Reynolds is personally in charge of the project therefore he
