We can definitely destroy the version of AI CEO that made the bad decisions and replace it with a „better“ version.

That’s not really accountability though, at least not in the same sense as the legal meaning.

A CEO has a fiduciary duty that an AI cannot fulfill. Although we variously like to beat up on shitty CEOs around here (rightfully so), a corporate officer of any title requires an ability for cognition, reflection, and abstraction that an AI does not possess.

That might be a bit of a technical argument in a way, but at the end of the day AI doesn’t change the fact that you can’t hold a computer responsible. It’s a machine.
