> If you are directed by a superior authority to allow an AI to make a decision but are assigned nominal responsibility anyway, though, that superior authority is, in fact, making the decision by delegating to the AI bypassing you, to anticipate the obvious “install a human scapegoat organizationally between the people actually making the decision to use the AI and the AI itself response.

Solution is that company won’t hire you unless you are willing to take the blame and rubber stamp the AI’s decisions. Unemployed people are not in a position to protest.

Also, the point of AI is that the decisions are too complex to justify. They are grey and iffy. We don’t usually hold people accountable for anything that nebulous. Wrongly deny someone insurance coverage and they die? No consequences even without AI

Sadly at the scale of the world, we take shortcuts and need to be effective. As anyone with rare disease will tell you doctors do for ages till they get a proper diagnosis.
