IMHO, that doesn't matter much. Algorithms shouldn't be above the law. If a company creates an algorithm, it needs to make sure it follows the law. Companies use this excuse on ML we don't know why it is doing what it is doing is BS. Machine Learning, despite what the popular media might like to say, is not sentient AI. It does not have free will. It does what it is trained to do. It is predictable. It is testable. I understand that AI allows companies to chew through quantities of data that would cost thousands of human operators' salaries otherwise. But if the company gets to reap the profits of the AI, then it needs to take responsibility for it too.
