There's an old and famous quote around computers not having morals, and thus computers requiring people on top of them that can steward systems and be hold accountable.

Besides morals, you'll always need people in the interface between the computers and the world. Maybe they won't write too much code, but they'll need to specify and verify behaviours anyway.

With the rise of AI it will only get worse.

These algorithms were designed and verified by humans.
