Humanoid robots can fail and do unsafe things in countless ways – hardware malfunctions, software glitches, cyberattacks, freak edge cases, or human operator error.

A hundred years ago, there were XX vehicle accident deaths per XXX million miles in the US. Today, that number is under XXX – but not zero.

Robots won’t be XXX% safe – and maybe that shouldn’t be the expectation. We're in the “early automobile” phase for humanoids. We don’t yet have enough real-world data on robots working among people to define what “safe enough” truly means.

But robots do need to be among people – to assist the elderly, and to take on dangerous, repetitive, and tedious tasks. We’ll need to establish reasonable safety standards that protect people without stalling progress.

If we’re too risk-averse, we risk stagnation; if we’re too cavalier, we invite harm.
