On occasion they participate in regulatory capture making them really only accountable as they care to be given the circumstances. If you have a market cornered on AI-powered, autonomous, robotic leg-equipped chainsaws, and the regulatory environment is weak because you've lobbied for the right rules and the right enforcers of those rules, you could very possibly just have a bad quarter if those chainsaws' AI sees people as trees and starts chasing them around. Maybe not even that. Meta would be a good real-world example. It's just less interesting to imagine.
