I'm being a bit facetious, but "we have bugs in our code, therefore we should write more code to prevent it" seems like the wrong direction to take :) Yes, certainly we can write courts, injunctions, reversals, etc into code, but that's massively increasing the surface area for bugs. Oops, a hacker just injuncted the entire network and now the entire network is frozen. Courts exist, to a certain extent, so that an impartial human can take a look at the situation and act according to thousands of pages of laws and hundreds of years of precedent. Humans are good at thinking like other humans, so we usually have pretty good intuition around what a judge will say and the limited possible outcomes from there, whereas the same really can't be said for computers. Oops, robojudge just awarded all the money in the network to the hacker, too bad. |
