Technically it's still the programmer who made all the decisions, at least with the current state of NNs. True decision making is philosophically up there with the 'what is consciousness' problem.
When the blame game is played though, the end result would likely be the corporation in question getting sued for a lot of money, who then might choose to take internal action and fire certain employees.
- pps43 9y agoIn many cases the programmer could not have made the decisions. For example, AlphaGo programmers could not win against top go professionals, but AlphaGo can. With a simple model like credit score it's easy to see which input affects which output in which direction. You're late on your mortgage - your FICO score drops. But this is just one neuron. Make the model a little more complex, and you no longer have a way to know what exactly it is doing.
