We're already seeing companies shirk responsibility of their automated processes. The censorship by social media is a prime example. When somebody complains that Twitter shadowbanned them, Twitter will point the finger at the algorithm and say they couldn't help it, it's not what it looks like, it's just the algorithm.

For the time being, they often go back and give posts and accounts a manual second review, and often reverse the decision. For now, that keeps the general conversation around this issue from going too far. But it can't last.
