In the world of technological advancements, even the powerful AI can make mistakes, and these mistakes have consequences. Here’s how to avoid these mistakes:

·       Embrace a Circle of Learning: AI systems are learning continuously. Treating possible mistakes is an opportunity for growth and development.
