This is the whole point.

“Sorry, the AI said that you are not approved for this cancer treatment, it’s not going to be covered.”

“Sorry, the AI said that you were at the scene when the crime took place.”

“Sorry, the AI has flagged your account for inappropriate content.”

“Sorry, the AI says that you are too risky to lend to.”

>In The Unaccountability Machine, Dan Davies argues that organizations form “accountability sinks,” structures that absorb or obscure the consequences of a decision such that no one can be held directly accountable for it. Here’s an example: a higher up at a hospitality company decides to reduce the size of its cleaning staff, because it improves the numbers on a balance sheet somewhere. Later, you are trying to check into a room, but it’s not ready and the clerk can’t tell you when it will be; they can offer a voucher, but what you need is a room. There’s no one to call to complain, no way to communicate back to that distant leader that they’ve scotched your plans. The accountability is swallowed up into a void, lost forever.[0]

This, but web scale.
