No - it is simply because a human is self aware and will act selfishly. By making a human accountable for the actions they can reasonably be expected to follow the rules.

Strong emotions, hatred, prejudice or a belief that punishment won't be performed or that the deed can be covered up make humans likely to do so under some circumstances. OTOH, machine has no choice at all. It always follows the rules.
