The are many scenarios where we still need provable code/security, i.e. health and safety related matters.

Not sure I would fully entrust a trained AI to control even an elevator door, where failure could result in bodily harm.

The planning an AI could take over from existing elevator controllers already uses constrained access to the motors. Nothing about AI demands stupid system design.

No, but AIs will override all elevator scheduling code. It just need to keep tuning all the knobs until everyone gets to their floor as fast as possible.

Please don't build an elevator whose ai is instructed to get people to their floor "_as fast_ as possible"
