It sucks to have your personal information out to the world. If you have ever had your credit card hacked and had to get a new one imagine getting your prescriptions stolen and needing to convince the doctor that someone took them. It can be impossible to persuade the doctor that they were stolen.Can you trust Robots with your personal information. Some computers leak documents to the government, hackers, higher people just because they aren’t smart enough to block away the hackers. If these robots leaked your information, would you still let them have your documents.
If these prescription counting robots are a monopoly (only made by one brand) there could be a big chance they are keeping everyone’s files for themselves to see how much money Pharmacies are making. In other words, these machines have to be trust worthy in order to trust them.
Why you should trust pill-counting robots
If you trust your doctors with your documents you should be able to trust computers with your documents. According to the website KQED Mallory Pickett found out how new technologies “have finally matured to the point where doctors trust robots to do it. For five years now, the UCSF Medical Center has relied on an automated “robot pharmacy” to fill prescriptions, and a fleet of thousands of autonomous bots to deliver them.” Along with five years of one-hundred percent accuracy, doctors trust the computers.
Since doctors deal with computers and documents all the time they are good to rely on for the pill counting robots. The doctors know which websites/computers are trustworthy and which websites are not trustworthy.
Pill-counting robots have experience
There is even research shown and it is practiced in many hospitals of new robots that deliver patients their prescriptions. These machines are proven to work faster than people and are way more accurate. Since there is already more advanced technology in the making than the pill counting robots, it is proven that the computers are trustworthy or else companies would not be able create more robots/computers.
