Humans may be ultimately responsible, but I think it's pretty clear that the more that decisions are made algorithmically, the less accountability firms running those algorithms take. If there aren't people involved at every step of the way to inject humanity into decision making processes, it's much easier for companies to hide behind their "algorithms."

There is a reason algorithms are considered a laundering mechanism for accountability. I believe the blossoming buzzword for it may be Mathwashing.
