For now, it's not really your life (or interest) vs the system's life (or interest). It's rather your life (or interest) vs lives (or interests) of people the system protects/supports. Our machines still work for humans. At least it still seems to be the case ;-)). If we are stupid enough to develop very powerful machines without equally powerful safety controls then we (just like many other species) are due for extinction for adaptability limitations.
