the AI is just a product of it's inputs, how it's used, and whether it violates discrimination laws, are totally up to the users.

  Sort of, but we have to be careful not the wash the hands of people all too willing to discard responsibility. It's correct to say "it's just statistics on data" but it also provides cover to the processes that use it. "How can you be against hiring the best person for the job" the argument goes, completely ignoring that the "best" isn't scientifically defined, and includes the same sexist biases we were trying to get rid of.

    I read that as specifically saying that the ethical and legal responsibility is entirely on the people. (i.e. I think you're agreeing with the comment you're replying to)

      Yes, sorry for the lack of clarity. Users shouldn't blame the machine when they control every aspect of it and how it's used. It's on you as a user to understand your tools and data.
