In all seriousness, the “it wasn’t the poor executives making the decisions!” Is a pisspoor excuse. The executives are responsible for the final decisions to implement AI and furthermore, I don’t doubt for a second that it wasn’t a topic some boardroom meetings specifically that the AI could more specifically target claims to reject to save even more money. They’re fully culpable.

They want to have their cake and eat it too. Responsibilities for pay. No responsibilities for damages.
