Many consider the changes in vaccine recommendation by the STIKO (german panel for vaccine recommendation) as a bad thing. Personally, I like that they are changing their opinion based on new data - what else should they do? Are you suggesting Merkel should have taken a second dose of AstraZeneca?

I agree, that it would not need to be 100% accurate. However, automation with low accuracy would induce other kinds of errors (e.g. complacency or loss of skill in doctors). Therefore, automation shouldbe significantly better than humans to justify their use.

I would argue that the "using a compiler"-class would be the programming class!

This is a course plan for computer science. I don't see why Artificial Intelligence should have its own "degree". However, there is a trend towards these niche degrees at universities too.

This reminded me of the section about "Clutter" in the book "On writing well":

> Clutter is the official language used by corporations to hide their mistakes. When the Digital Equipment Corporation eliminated 3,000 jobs its statement didn’t mention layoffs; those were “involuntary methodologies.” When an Air Force missile crashed, it “impacted with the ground prematurely.”
