    A computer can never find out. That is why a computer must never fuck around.

      Yeah, but even machines that are “built responsibly” (whatever that may mean) can make mistakes. Correction: they will make mistakes, because decision making isn’t linear, and afaik computers are only good at linear tasks, such as calculations. And once they do, who should be held accountable? The AI’s creator? The person/company who accepted whatever decision the AI made? Or nobody? When people are deciding, it’s a bit easier to know who to blame. But how do you do it when the decision is by an algorithm?

      And sure, maybe AI’s can help in decision making, but shouldn’t decisions be made by people in the end?

        It depends on what decision you’re looking at.

    What does being held accountable even mean? Punishment? Or just removeval of their services bc well machines can be removed from service.

    If a machine stops working we hold it “accountable” by servicing it or throwing it out. Plus there are plenty machines that make decisions and we use the without much fuss
