Anyone who thinks computers have solved the problem and are 100% accurate, aren't understanding that computers are simply the tools of humans.
It wasn't the system that failed at Flint- it was people who failed the system.
Frankly the most important thing for your safety and health, and what stopped the monster at Flint at all, was the Freedom of Information Act.

If a lead pipe remains, every person downstream will have lead poisoning. If those two AI proponents had a risk to their children, would they be happy with 85%? The computer is flawless. If someone is concerned, test their water.

Kinda odd that theres no maschine to simply test the tap water for signs of led from house to house.

They have infrared detectors to see underground. It's about ten thousand dollars.

Cool technology… !! Always trust maths… A religion may get outdated but maths would never
But it makes sense can't put all hopes on an algorithm when it's about health
