I agree on a general basis that it’s bad that these kind of decisions are offloaded to an AI. A human should be the one to consider whether the blind 70 year old is dangerous, because they definitely can be.
Operating a vehicle or weapon requires neither eyesight nor a clear mind if you don’t intend to do it safely.

Blind 70 year olds can still be dangerous. Being blind and old doesn’t prevent that.
They’re not saying that offloading the responsibility to an algorithm is good, they’re saying it’s weird to assume a person is harmless based on nothing but two attributes.
