That is exactly what happens. It's direct human nature to defer that responsibility to "computers did it", and to believe they will not in the future is naive.

That is exactly what happens. It's direct human nature to defer that responsibility to "computers did it", and to believe they will not in the future is naive. The second part of that is that the human at the top can only make decisions on what is visible to them. With fairly opaque ML systems the only thing easily visible is the results. Seeing how it came to that result is much more challenging. So we will have humans at the top that can only makes decisions about the results and not the means. Which is the part many, including myself, find troubling.
