Historical Record
In 2020 the conversation about automation returns to the people it affects first: workers, caregivers, and the communities that feel change as a budget line before they see it as a headline. Cross-border teams form to ask whether safety can be designed in rather than bolted on. Meanwhile, the old pattern repeats: a new device appears in the wrong place at the wrong time, and emergency rooms write the first clear sentences anyone will read about it.
Historically, the moment is a referendum on stewardship. It suggests that progress without accountability is a loop, not a line. The record argues for systems that fail gracefully, for training that respects human limits, and for leaders who admit uncertainty before events force the admission.
