Depends on the level of manager. DM at Walmart? You might as well not even have the title.
Only when basic grunt scapegoats fail to repel the call for accountability, a management level unit is sacrificed.
They can be held accountable, they just won't 99% of the time.
Why should they, when they can delegate that, amirite?
A computer can never find out. That is why a computer must never fuck around.
Canadian airline is complaining about finding out when their computer fucked around.
Not accountable? But I thought they did math?
Accountingable
Leave.
And they are very countable.
Now do corporations!

I disagree.
Machines are made by humans, and can be built responsibly.
But then the one who is to be held accountable is the human who made it, or the human who used it.
When a plane crashes it isnt the planes fault either.
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?
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
Exactly. Responsibility doesn't mean that you go to jail. It means that you fix your mistakes.
