First is the lack of contextual judgement. So this is that AIs tend to have not fully
01:03
developed comprehensions of particular systems, and nuances tend to need to be handled by
01:08

fairly routine, standard airport operations. But actually when we need this at campus,
01:21
when things are non-routine, when things are going wrong, and I think this leads back to
